O.k. I just bought the following:
Case:
APEVIA(ASP)|X-QPACK2-BK/500 RT
PSU:
500w (came with case)
Hard drive:
160G|WD 7K 8M SATA2 WD1600AAJS
CD Drive:
COMBO LITEON|SHC-52S7K-05 SATA BK
Motherboard:
ABIT AN-M2 nView 7025 AM2
Processor:
AMD|A64 X2 4200+ 65W AM2 1M R
Memory:
1Gx2|A-DATA ADQVE1A16K R
Video Card:
XFX PVT84JUDF3 8600GT 256MB R
---------------------------------------
My background:
Build 20+ systems
Computer Programmer
Fixed a lot of computers in the past
The gist of it all:
Ok, I got the parts 2days ago. I put it all together and the system booted up fine. First thing i did was change some bio's settings:
CDrom first boot
Changed the splash screen to none
Next I popped in Win XP Pro SP2, Install started out fine. when the computer needed to reboot, it did, and for some reason the monitor didn't come on...
I held down the power button and tried again. Nothing...
Things I thought was the problem, but isn't:
-- Reset the CMOS to see if that would fix the problem, and didn't work.
Power supply: I tried 2 different PSU's and neither of them worked for it. One of them was bigger: 600w the other one was a 500w
Video Card: Tried 2 different PCI-E VC's in it, same thing, monitor wasn't receiving any signal.
Ram: I bought 2 sticks of ram, tried one at a time, still nothing.
I don't have any other DDR2 ram to try, so I ran out of testing on that. (First system with DDR2 ram)
I removed the ram to see if the motherboard would do its Beeps. It did nothing.
Monitor: Tested it with the computer I'm using now and another one that has been using it. Works fine.
Processor: Checked out the processor, no burns on it, looks normal.
Motherboard: All looks normal, checked it out hard core.
-- When installing all hardware, I made sure to be grounded and static free.
So thats where I'm at. I have no idea what I'm missing; My guess is its the motherboard, but I wouldn't think it would be.
I hope I gave enough information >.>;
Any help would be great! Thank You
