CPU= Athlon 1GB
Motherboard=Gigabyte GA-71IXE4
RAM=128MB PC133 SDRAM
Display card=nVIDIA Geforce2 MX (AGP)
PSU=300W Power Master KC300 ATX
I have just assembled the above new system.
The PC fails to boot, no POST beep, and no display. There is power to the M/B because the CPU fan works.
What I have tried:
1.Checked jumper and dip switch settings (buss frequency 100MHz, clear CMOS disabled, flash Rom write protect disabled).
2. Disconnected all external devices except display card (e.g. HDD, FDD).
3. Changed RAM for a stick of known working128 PC100.
4. Changed display card for a known working PCI card.
5. Checked for possible short under M/B (number of standoff’s = screws in m/b).
6 Checked that M/B power connecter is seated and locked.
7. Cleared CMOS.
8. Changed the PSU (145W was the only spare one I had).
Q: any suggestions, is there anything else I can try apart from changing the CPU?
I don’t want to take the CPU out if I can help it, as that would wreck the heat compound pad on the cooler, and I would have to borrow a CPU from somewhere.
