I recently purcased a K7S5A mobo, Amd Athlon Xp2100 CPU, SIS315 video card and it will not post. I have taken it back to the store I bought it at and it posts fine. It has a 256 SDRAM chip, but other than that, nothing is connected at this point. Any suggestions on what to try?

Try some old fashioned trouble shooting, strip it down to the bare and start from there. Try testing your ram, video card and such... you said it posted at the store but not at home??? Could it be the monitor??? Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

I don't want you mean by "nothing is connected at this point." means. but check the back the power supply box and make sure the switch with the O | markings is set at | not O. it may sound dumb but some people do forget about it.Also check your outlets and cable. If it posted at the store it should do the same at home.
