so i decided to bring one of my old computers back in operation and i'm having some trouble.
it's an Asus K7M board with a 500Mhz slot Athlon, 256Mb Mushkin PC133 memory and a TNT2 Ultra. Now the strange thing is when i turn it on nothing appears on the screen. It sound like its turning on, but the computer doesn't post and i don't see anything on the screen. There are also no beeps.
Here are some things that i tried:
First i tried different memory, both PC133 and PC100, with no difference.
I reset the processor to make sure it was ok.
I even tried changing the keyboard (aparently this was a problem with these boards).
Next I tried a different power supply. I tried two different power supplies that i know work (took them right out of computers that i use). Now the strange thing is with these other power supplies nothing at all happens. when i press the start button its like the computer isn't even plugged in. It doesn't even try to start, just nothing. This is just weird and i never ran over anything like this. Just for the record all PS are ATX.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like to get this system running.
