So I'm putting together a pc from brand new and spare parts. the spare parts are old, (~2001) and haven't been used since ~2006. i figured Id use them to make a cheap pc for a friend.
the old parts worked when i pulled them but since then i cant verify that they work. now when i start up, I cant even bring up the BIOS screen -- the monitor doesnt see any pc input signal. even worse, the speaker connector to the mobo doesnt seem to work so i cant hear if there are any error signals
could the cpu/ram be bad? would it cause the error i'm seeing? or should i just give up and get new mobo/cpu/ram altogether?
new parts:
mobo - Foxconn K7S741GXMG-6L
video card - ATI Radeon 9550 8x AGP
old
cpu - Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz
ram - Kingston Value RAM 256 MB 266MHz DDR (2 dimms)
