I'm building a computer for my sister and I'm using some new and old parts for it. Here are the specs:
New MSI KM2M Combo (MS-6738, KM266 Chipset) Motherboard
Old AMD T-Bird 1.1GHz
Old 512 PC133 RAM
On board Video (and also tried GF2 MX200)
Western Digital 20gig HD
New Sparkle 400W PSU
So I turn on the computer and it doesn't like it even does a POST test because it doesn't make any beeps at all. It just turns on, and no signal is sent to the monitor. I've tried unplugging things like the RAM, video card, HD, ect. I tried two different video cards and different RAM modules. I've also tried resetting the CMOS even though its a brand new motherboard. My gut feeling is that the processor is dead because the same processor with another motherboard died, but I thought it was the motherboard that died and not the processor. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Couple things that should be kept in mind... The Sparkle PSU was originally meant to be in my computer, but it wouldn't even turn the computer on at all, all it did was make my power LED blink red with a low beep that went off in 2-3 second intervals. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem with my sister's computer, but I thought I should mention that, and if you have any idea what may be happening there, let me know about that too =]
Thanks for any help.
