this is the cpu/mobo combo from outpost.com
i only have the following plugged into the mobo:
1 stick pc3200 512meg ram
radeon 9600 agp video card
(no ide/floppy/usb/etc devices are plugged in)
the mobo itself is outside of the case on an antistatic bag. and the case has a generic (Powermagic?) 500w powersupply. it worked fine w/my k7vta3/sempron2400 system. (the k7vta3 died.)
with the nforce3-A/sempron 3100 combo, I push the power button and nothing appears on the screen. when i push the power button again to turn it off, it wont turn off. i have to pull the plug.
instead of the agp card, i tried a working pci video card. i hear 1 beep, then the mobo shuts down (cpu fan stops spinning almost immediately).
suggestions PLEASE
THX!
