I installed a kit that included the motherboard, ram and CPU (Intel core 2 duo). Now my computer won't even boot up. I looked through the manual for jumpers I may have missed, but can't find any. If anyone has an idea on why it won't boot up I would greatly appreciate it.

when you turn on the pc are any fans turning on any lights?

gregblum · « **Reply #2 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:10:00 AM »

the fans come on, to include the cpu fan. there aren't any lights on the motherboard, but the hdd light comes on on the front.

xavier · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:19:11 AM »

Start off by only using 1 stick of ram,video card or on board video hooked up,cpu, cpu fan,mouse & keyboard,only these.Turn on pc & do you get a display on monitor?

gregblum · « **Reply #4 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:33:19 AM »

so no hdd or any other device?

gregblum · « **Reply #5 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:00:54 AM »

started the computer the way you suggested, and still nothing. None of the perifial devices seem to be working on the motherboard. The USB and SATA I assumed could be because of BIOS settings, but he keyboard, mouse and monitor have confused me.

Not entirely sure what Xavier is getting at but I think he just wants to see if you get anything on the monitor.

Try with the HD and then, if still no display, try without the HD.

Nothing except specified. (of course keep the monitor plugged in

)

Oh hey, you posted before me.

Do you mean like the Keyboard and Mouse or what?

gregblum · « **Reply #8 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:14:30 AM »

yes, the mouse and the keyboard don't seem to be recognized or receiving power to them. I have tried starting several different ways, and nothing to show for it. I moved the ram to make sure that it wasn't a dead slot. I don't really know anymore. This is the first time I have had a problem like this.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #9 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:16:44 AM »

I would try unplugging all connections and replugging them as soon as you unplug it.
Also, reaset the RAM (remove it and then put it back in but start the computer with one RAM stick at a time)

Is this a USB keyboard? What about the Mouse?

gregblum · « **Reply #10 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:20:58 AM »

the mouse and keyboard are connected the old style way. I do know that the usb ports are not turning on either. it is like every external device is just dead. I have reset the ram to no avail. I am hoping it is not a dead mob, because it is a pain in the *censored* to return things. especially electronics once they are open and installed.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #11 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:22:50 AM »

Can you get to the BIOS or not? That would be my main question.

What happens with the monitor when you try to boot?

gregblum · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:25:05 AM »

nothing. it just sits there idle. i just tried turning it on with nothing pluged in and then hooked the monitor up, and still nothing. i have even started it with nothing connected but hte mob, monitor and pwr sp.

xavier · « **Reply #13 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:02:53 PM »

From the way it sounds, [not getting any post or display]sounds like the power supply or MB. make sure your ATX 12v power connector it seated and look at your mother board layout, you should have a 4 pin atx power connector

gregblum · « **Reply #14 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:56:12 PM »

I thought about the same thing with the atx connector and the 4 pin. I checked them both, and tried multiple reseats. The only thing I didn't do was us a dmm to check the voltage on the pins. As the ps was working just hours before I assume that it is still working, but you know what happens when you assume.

xavier · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:00:10 PM »

Do you have a spare PS to test ? you have to start with the process of elimation

gregblum · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:17:04 PM »

well, you may be on to something, because my ps just died. The cpu fan started slugish a coulple of times, and then got up to speed, so i didn't think anything of it. Your suggestion of the ps got me to thinking, so I looked a little deeper and then poof, my ps died. I am going into the attic to see if I have one that will work.

gregblum · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:29:09 PM »

one quick question. do you have to have a hd hooked up to get the bios to beep, or with just the mb powered up should you get the beep as well?

xavier · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2008, 04:25:21 PM »

Without a HD & cdrom, and dvd drive hooked up to power you will still get a post display on your monitor. also make sure your heat sink is properly seated.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:59:45 PM »

What about the CMOS Battery?

Try removing it for 20 minutes and then putting it back in.
If that doesn't work, try replacing it.

gregblum · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2008, 06:05:06 AM »

I finally returned the mob and now my computer is posting. I can get as far as the screen where windows tells you that u shut it down wrong and how would you like to start it. I have selected start normal, start in last known good state, and start in safe mode. nothing worked. I have also reset my bios and cleared the cmos several times, to include taking the battery out. I am using sata drives and wonder if this could be the problem, and if so, what do i need to do to get windows to boot again?

patio · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2008, 07:41:06 AM »

You cannot simply move a drive with Windows into another machine...it won't boot as it's looking at all the wrong drivers.
This is also true when replacing major components such as a MBoard/chipset.

Repair Install of Windows

I suggest reading through it before starting paying special attention to the warnings.
Then print it out for reference.

If done properly all your data and programs will be intact...if done improperly all your data will be gone but you will have a clean install of XP...

patio...

I cannot count the number of times you've told a user the above information...yet still you have to deal with that over and over.

Is there a way to make the above referenced comment a sticky...or is it already posted as a sticky somewhere else?

patio · « **Reply #23 on:** September 07, 2008, 08:28:08 AM »

Good suggestion...i'll see if it's covered in our FAQ section if not i'll write up a little ditty...

Good to seeya again...did you ever resuscitate your Ubuntu experiment ? ?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #24 on:** September 07, 2008, 08:29:28 AM »

BTW congrats on 3000, Patio (again)

Thanks...good to "see"

you, as well.

Nope...gave up, but I have installed on a few clients' machines...and they're quite happy with it.

I just bought a new Compaq (Vista)...shoot me later. It was affordable...and does what I want it to. However...it seems my cable modem's getting ready to take a crap. I keep dropping my connection. So, tomorrow...I'm going to have to get a new one.

patio · « **Reply #26 on:** September 07, 2008, 10:24:50 AM »

Check and see with your provider...sometimes they'll just replace what you have...
They like doing that better than getting service calls all the time...

CDO Thanx Again !
It's like deja' vu all over again...
