Ok i just assembled a 2nd computer here, Abit KG7 with a XP1600 cpu.
I have the speaker connected right, and i've tried to reverse the poles on him so it's not something with the speaker.

Now, i know your going to hit me for saying this.. I have a 250w fortron power supply hooked up to it. I know it should not be enough, but shouldn't it post at least? all the power supply issues i've heard of were causing lockups under stress..

And yes, i cleared the cmos so the cpu would be at lowest setting..

I've tried 2 graphic cards, geforce and an old PCI card

I have nothing else in it that could be taking power, not even a hdd yet..(except a NIC)

If it helps the NIC powers on at least, the green light on it does turn on as usualy

How would the computer act if i cracked the CPU? would it beep or just act dead as it's doing now?
I got some huge thermaltake heatsink with it and allthough i'm pretty sure i put it on right that "could" be the cause of trouble, you never know

are you sure you have it jumpered for the correct speed of the cpu?

reading mobo's manual would be of assistance there...
