I'm building my new computer and am having some issues that i am not finding answers to in my own head, would love some help.
The system:
Mainboard = MSI 648 Max 533mhz FSB socket 478
Processor = Intel P4 2.8ghz 533 FSB
Memory = Kingston Value RAM DDR-333mhz PC 2700 512mb's (2 sticks)
Video = Gainward Pro/660 GeForce FX 5200 128mb DDR
HDD = 1 seagate 133mhz 7200 120gb (p-slave) 1 maxtor 133 7200 60gb (p-master)
Optical = 1 DVDROM 16x (s-slave) 1 MSI 8x DVD Burner (s-master).
The Problem:
I put everything together (i used a static wrist strap) and hooked it up and it won't post. I've tried using one stick RAM and then the other, then both again, then tried each hdd as primary master and each optical as secondary master. When it powers on i get the power lights and the light on the MSI comes on steady, i am not able to open the MSI drive when the light is solid like that, i thought it was just my configuration of IDE devices but i think i've tried every scenario. Both HDD's are empty.
Any suggestions?
