hi,

I am putting together a computer and I am having a little problem.
I have a asus A7n8x-x mobo, 512k ram, ati 9600 video c., i put in my hd from my other computer already with a OS, everything seems to be in place but when I turn it on there is nothing. There is only a green led light on the motherboard that lights up.
I wounder if it is the power supply (Axio case). all the pieces are new.

please help!!!
 
i'm in the process of building my computer too and i just found out i had one of the screws tightened too much and it was shorting something out. i loosened the screw and now my fans turn on but i don't get any output, thats another thread though
also check on how you have the power switch hooked up
 
does the mobo give enough space between the circuits and the screws?
have you set all the jumpers correctly?
does the PC work without the old hard drive in it?
 
A crap psu wll do that on you. It is possable your wires are in backwards or even not at all. Double check eveything
 
Hello Mario,

Just check out if you have fixed memory properly.

Best way to check out yr system is. Unassemble every thing.

1. Take the board out.
2. Put only cpu, Display card & memory.
3. connect SMPS leads on motherboard.
4. Connect system speaker. Plugin monitor.
5. Boot the system.
6. If every thing is ok you should see atleast bios disply and initial
screen.
7. Donr worry abot disk boot failure message.
8. Now take all this and fit in cabinet. and check.
9. If all ok add more part like fdd then hdd one by one. This way
you will find out what is wrong where.
If you dont see display or hear beep, means you have some
shorting in cabinet as straightv6 has mentioned above.
Remove all the screws on mb and test. Screws are the link to
short. If you have some fiber washer put them on mb and then
fix screw. If you dont have then use some paper as di-electric
material between mb and screw. This should do the trick.
10. If you get display and boot screen you can open your drink.

Good luck.
 
I unpluged all the parts, including the mobo and i put in a fan
just to see if the power supply works and nothing happened.
