I need some help with an installation please....

I posted this note in the CPU forum too, since it falls into both categories....

I'm building a system using a Celeron 633 in a MSI6905 go into a Soyo V6BE+ mb.

The problem I'm having is I'm not getting any power to the cpu fan. I don't know if it's the cpu fan or the MB, that's the problem.

I only installed one card, the video card. I have a floppy, hard drive, and CD-ROM installed. I have 64 megs of memory installed.

On power up, I can hear the hard drive spin up and I can see the case fan spin. The fan on the cpu does not turn at all. I get no beeps from the MB. If I remove the memory, again I get no cpu fan spin but I do get a long beep from the MB (which I assume is telling me I don't have any memory installed).

Any suggestions on what I should try next to debug this problem?

How can I determine if it's a problem with the fan on my cpu or if it's a problem with the MB????

Thanks!!!!

I'm bummed! 😕

I had a somewhat similar problem with a system I was building 2 days ago. Pull the board and check contact with case and standoffs.

DAMN!!! I tried both fan headers on the MB and nothing. I hooked just the fan connector up to a fan header on my main PC and bingo....fan spins!!!

Aaarrgghhh!!! I bought this bought from Overstock, first time I bought a "refurbished" product!!#*&@#(*@#...just my luck to get one that has a problem!! :|

Oooo...well....I'll get in touch with them to return it. I think I'll start shopping around for a new board or check to see if anyone is selling something I can use....

Thanks for the suggestion!
