Hi

I have two problem's now.

My computer wont post.

I checked all the power cable's case setting power think. it seems everythink is in properly

this computer was posting early, I'm hoping I did't fry my motherboard.

the system was working: I turned it off to change a cable on my floppy drive and now it wont turn on.

Again I took the cable out checked all the other cable and nothing.

please help

thanks

🙁anyone have a suggestion

by the way I have a abit kt7a 133a board 30g matox hd,etc

need anymore spec I will supply them.
 
try removing everything that isn't absolutely essential for it to start up. if it posts, then add things back one by one and maybe you'll find the culprit.
 
system is posting now. but i still got problems😀 it seems that the case power button was hitting anything I just keep hitting out of frustation and it came on.



thanks
 
Make sure your motherboard isnt shorting out against the case.

A common example would be it resting against a standoff that doesnt meet up to a preset hole on the motherboard.

Also reseat your memory and video card.
 
it seems that I still am having a problem with my floppy drive. when i did have it working last night I had started formating my harddrive with window 98 cd disk. but my system is now looking for a boot disk in my A drive.

the last message I got was

verifying dmi pool data....

I hit any key

disk I/o error

replace the disk, and then press any key

I was using win 98 emergency boot disk

any suggestion.

I was think about re-setting my cmos but I don't know where is the back up 5v power supply is?




 
Re-partition, re-format, re-install windows. Check your bios setting for your start up boot drive. Make sure the A: drive is selected. Sounds like the C: drive may be selected and with no OS on the C: drive, it would give you a message like that.
