ok, i got my fan connected and connected the audio cable which i asked about on a previous thread, but now i have a new problem. I start up the computer, plugged into the outlet and into the graphics card, and it starts up. All the fans work, the CD drive opens and closes, but nothing else happens. The monitor dosent respond, like nothing is connected to it. also, it dosent seem to do any loading, like that light that usually turns on does not. I REALLY hope i didn't buy incompatuble stuff. I can think of a few things, but i dont want them to be true:
I bought ram incompatible w/ my motherboard. Bought PC 3200, which i was pretty damn sure the site i bought the computer from said it supported
Bought a P4 proc, with a EDIT: prescott core, and now i look in the manual, and the motherboard supports northwood and something else not barton. I didn't even freakin know the core meant anything lol.
The HDD is EIDE, and my comp supports SATA 33/100 i think. I really hope its number 1 or 3, because 2 cant be fixed at a low price. (unless it can?? )
also, my ATI radeon 6200SE does not seem to fit right, it always seems crroked. Perhaps this is part of the problem?
BTW i tried switching the ram to different slots, reseating the video card, and reconnecting the monitor. No different tho once the monitor seemed to respond the the video card but the green light near the power button was just blinking.
