I have had an extra Asus A7V8X motherboard and athlon xp 1800+ processor sitting around for a while and have been wanting to build a another machine. My friend gave me an OLD HP case wich i have modified to work with my motherboard and what not. The power supply is only 120 watts in this case. When i boot up my monitor will not kick on at all. I swapped out video cards for the one in this computer im typing on right now and got the same results. The only thing i can think of is that the power supply is not giving the system enough power to get up and running. I dont have many funds available (that why im using this old case) and i want to make sure it is the power supply before i go wasting my money on another one. Do you think the power supply is not giving enough power or do you think im running into some other random problem? Thanks.
