system specs, Abit nf7s versio 2.0, xp2500 barton, 512mb pc2700.
I have been having trouble getting this thing to post. I finally cleared the cmos and took out the batterty. sometimes it will come on momentarily then shut off, sometimes it will post, i hit the del key and it goes into the bios, then shuts down. I noticed the first time it posted the screen showed it was an xp2500. Now it says athlon 1100 when i go to the soft menu, but underneath, it says xp2500. I have taken loose everything but the video card, harddrive and floppy. The heatsink doesn't seem to even get warm at all, it is cool to the touch. What have i done wrong? help please.
thanks

EDIT: It was the power supply. Put in an Enermax and boom. Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated
