Alright, well i've run into a couple very odd issues on my new build and ill do my best to describe everything and what i have tried, here is my setup...
MSI K9VGM-V motherboard (new)
Amd Athlon 64x2 5000+ 2.6ghz Brisbane (new)
2gb(2x1gb)G.Skill DDR2 dual channel ram (new)
MSI Ati radeon x1800xt (used, but works)
500w antec sp-500 smartpower 2.0 PSU(used, but works)
80gb Western digital HDD(used, but works)
Let me start off by saying i am sure every thing necessary was plugged in right and securly (24 pin, 4 pin, front panel connectors, etc) and the power supply was tested and fully functional on another rig
So when everything was set in, plugged up and ready to go, i turned it on, all i know for sure is that the cpu fan turned on, and the video card was powered up, here are some of the symptoms i can conclude...
(1)I get absolutly no display on my screen whatsoever not even recognizes anything (for this problem im pretty sure i can cancel out the video card as being a problem, because i also tried taking the video card out and plugged a VGA monitor straight into the motherboard, and i got the same thing, absolutly nothing)
(2)I realized when i tried booting up the system , that there was no movement or any sign or booting in my HDD(I assure you that the IDE cables were securly plugged in the HDD and MoBo as with the 4 pin power plugs, and the HDD was tested and working on another rig)
(3)When i try to boot up, there is no post beep whatsoever coming from the MoBo(so i am somewhat sure the ram is not the problem, because if it was i would be getting something like, beeeeep....beeeeeep...beeeeeep...beeeeeep, etc, and i took out both the sticks of ram, and it was the same thing, no post beeps at all)
unfortunatly i dont know anyone personally that has an AM2 socket MoBo so i cant really test out my CPU, but from what i was researched , they say to always assume the MoBo is DOA first before the CPU(especially in my scenario because the MoBo is very cheap and budgety)
I have unplugged EVERYTHING(including the MoBo battery for a little while) and hooked it all back up a few times and i got these same symptoms each time
I'm pretty sure this is all the info i can provide, if there is anything u want/need to know to help determine my problem, please say so
All the new parts (MoBO, CPU, RAM) were all bought from newegg just recently so i can still RMA any of them
All help and suggestions will be much appreciated and let me know if there is ANY more info that i could provide
