Dear Fellow Members,
I am in need of some help -- I installed the following parts together yesterday and was able to load XP onto my new machine successfully:
GA-K8N51PVMT-9
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Aspire Q-Pack
SEASONIC S12-500
CORSAIR Twinx2048-3200c2pt
WD 7200 SATA WD4000KD
When I turned on the machine today however I got no display & no beeps; the system and cpu fan come on though and the power LED on the case lights up.
I tried removing everything but the CPU/heatsink w/only the speaker and power switch cable connected to the MB, but no luck. I then swapped the Seasonic power supply for the one that came with the Q-Pack, again to no avail. I also tried installing a PCI video card and still no display. I then swapped my monitor & PS cables with ones known to work from my legacy machine, again without luck. Lastly, I tried resetting the CMOS battery and the power supply.
It seems to me that the MB (or possibly the CPU??) must have gone bad somehow; any suggestions on what I might try next; I was hoping I might get it working today somehow before just giving up and RMA-ing the MB.
Thanks everyone!
Rand
