New CUSL2-C and PIII 700e...First Boot=No Boot???

[cassy69]

I just got everything hooked up and no boot. I just get a blank screen and no beeps. I am pretty sure I have everything hooked up correctly. I had this happen before on a different system and I had to reset the CMOS jumper. Do you think this could be my problem???

Where is the CMOS jumper on the CUSL2-C board??

ANy other suggestions???

not to insult you, but are you sure you have the connectors from the power supply to the MB connected right? would be the first thing I would check if you get nothing..

Its not that I get nothing. The computer starts up, harddrive thrashes but nothing comes on the screem. The monitor light stays orange...wont turn to green..

Ummm, the industry changed to a &quot;foolproof&quot; connector design a few years ago ...

Did you install your own video card, or are you just running with the i815's graphics? Sounds like your monitor is not getting a video signal?

I have to agree with that statement! you can do the switch to your videocard in bios.

CUSL2-C = no inbuilt graphic controller.

Have you checked to make sure that everything is seated correctly?

remove the battery, replace, reinstall the video card.

The first thing I do when setting up a new machine is to boot up with just vid card and memory. This quick little step can save a huge amount of troubleshooting time. Assuming the problem is not with these two, try loading Bios Default/Setup Default, or clearing CMOS with the jumper.

Make sure your RAM is properly and securely inserted in your DIMM slot.

I feel stooooooooopid, I missed the -C on the CUSL2.

Try with just the CPU. Should be like 7 beeps.

Try with just the CPU and RAM. Should be 4 beeps.

Try with just the CPU and video card. Should be 3 beeps.

The LED on the mobo turned on?

 

[cassy69]

Guys I have tried all of those things.... I cant get any beeps out of the board. Tried everything...Just Processor, ram video card etc and nothing works.

I think I am gonna send the motherboard back tomorrow.


Any other suggestions???

Try it with different (high quality) ram. I had a similar problem last year with a P3B-f.
