Ok I just set up an AMD 3000+ Newcastle on a Gigabyte K8U ULi Mobo.
I plugged everything in and turned it on and it turned on fine but thats where it stops. It didnt do the POST so I can't tell from the beeps and the video card isnt working so I cant see anything. Also, when I try to turn the comp back off it doesnt do anything and stays on so I have to unplug it. The heatsink fan is working and the light on the mobo is on so I know its getting power. But it doesnt sound like the two CD drives and HD are being powered. The HDD light stays on permanently. I cant open either of the CD drives.
The only thing I was worried about was the PSU which is only 300W. It has on old ATX connector and not a 12V ATX if that makes a difference.
If I think of anything else I let you know. Thanks.
