Just recieved a new Motherboard, Processor, and memory to upgrade my computer with.
Motherboard = EliteGroup 741GX-M
Processor = AMD 3000 XP
Memory = DDR 2700 (dual banked)
Power Supply is 450W ColorCases power supply.
Now I'm upgrading a computer that I currently use frequently. Been using the same Hard Disk and CDROM for over a year.
Here's the problem.
If I put in this Motherboard, Proc, and Memory and attach NOTHING. I can boot the computer and get into my BIOS Setup.
However as soon as I connect power to my Hard Disk or CDROM, I either get no boot, boot up to the point where I can see Proc MHZ and total Mem and computer locks up, and that's about it. Now here is one weird thing. Even if I do NOT the data cable connected to the HDD from the Motherboard, my Hard Disk LED for the Computer Case acts like it's performing a constant read. With no datacable connected to the hard drive. Just the power.
Any one have any ideas? I believe this is an Award bios. Does the Award bios have some funky voltage it allows for Drives? Or even a setting for it?
