Last week I ordered a barebones kit and was looking forward to having a great machine but I haven't been able to get it to boot up yet. Here's what I ordered to be installed in the system.
Pc Chips M863g motherboard
AMD XP 3400 CPU
512mb DDR PC2700 333mhz ram
clear side panel gaming case
So I get it and it looks great. I installed the hard drive (from a previous computer) , DVD burner, floppy drive, graphics card, and memory. I read the motherboard manual and make sure everything looks ok (jumpers, ect.)
When I turn it on, the fans kick on but nothing else. My monitor doesn't come on. I try moving the monitor cord from the onboard video port to the AGP card and still nothing. No beeps come from the computer either, just a constant on, off, on blinking from the dvd drive light and a red light on the case.
So, then I take everything out of it except the HD and the RAM and try to boot. Nothing again. I've tried everything I can think of. Does this sound like a bad CPU/MB/RAM problem or am I just missing something?
Any help would be appreciated.
