Hi All, just built a new system. Here are the specs..
MSI P6N Sli-Fi Motherboard
G.Skill Ram 1gb x 2
Antec Truepower Trio Powersupply
Crummy Geforce MX 4000 Video Card PCI (Main card being fixed)
Western Digital 250GB Sata 2 HDD
USB Logitech Mouse
CDRW Generic
I've checked all the cables, checked the motherboard and heatsink fan. I'm not getting any beeps. When it powers on, I see my keyboard lights kick on, then my CD is accessed, but I don't get a picture and my mouse isn't getting any power. (It lights up when powered up) An LED on my motherboard indicates the power is on and functioning. I removed one stick of ram and tried just the first one, then I removed the first and put in the second one and tried that.
I'm stumped on this one but I'm not all that experienced. The fact that I have no video or mouse power seems odd. Pretty frustrated so figured I'd take a step back and ask for help. Sigh.
Edit: I also tried two other power supplies units that work well.
I tried the video card in 2 other machines, it worked well. The mouse thing is throwing me. I also don't hear the HDD making any sound at all, but since I can't see the screen it could be giving me some type of message. I'm leaning towards incompatible Ram. I heard the board was picky. Without any other ideas I can try calling MSI but I heard their CS is awful
