I am putting together a new computer with:
AMD Athlon 2800+ processor,
FIC AU13 motherboard,
Corsair 2 3200 250mb ram sims,
Sony DRU-530A DVD/CD burner,
Western Digital, 250gig hd.
Generic video card
I have a radeon 9800 pro and wonder pro cards to install but I am leaving them out to eliminate them as a problem.
I am using a lanboy case with 350w power supply and an intake and an exhaust fan, 80mm ea.
My problem is that on first boot, the system check sees the DVD/CDRom, and the hard drive, then it appears to stop the system check and does not give me any video display so that I can setup the cmos so that the computer will boot to the DVD/CDRom so I can set up the hard drive.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
The motherboard, comes with add on fire wire jacks and pins for the 2 usb ports in the front of the case. I have tried to boot with and without them connected.
The board also comes with a 5.1 add on card that I have left connected, and not tried to boot without it connected.
HHHHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllpppppp ppppp!!!!!!!
