Hello everyone. I dont know if this one was posted before because I couldn't find it anywhere, but the problem i'm having is, I recently bought this motherboard off the internet. It's a VIA SIS740 WITH 2.2 GIGAPRO CPU. I know it's not the greatest mobo but for what my daughter needs it for, it's good enough. The problem is, when I plug it in, the only thing I get from it is power to the mobo. The monitor wont turn on or anything. The only thing that happens is the fan on the processor is running. No beeps or sounds or anything. I tried unplugging everything from it (HD, CD ROM, Floppy) and running it and still nothing. Nothing on the monitor or anything. The only thing that I have connected is the power supply to the mobo, the monitor and the RAM. Now the only thing that I could think of that could be wrong is the power supply is only 250 watts. I'm not sure if that's too low of wattage. I'm trying to upgrade the mobo from an 850MHz and I figured I could just use the same case and PS from that. I just figured that even if 250 watts was too low to run everything, that it might be enough power to at least get me into CMOS. Thanks for any suggestions you all have.
