computer wont start up

[Guest]

i am having problems with a tmc T15VGA socket 7 motherboard,it has a k62 500 cpu, 128mb pc 100, 10.2gb samsung eide harddrive (which is new), voodoo3 3000 pci video card,lg 52 speed cd rom (also new), no sound card and no modem.
when i turn it on there are no beeps, the lights flicker (as in floppy) i can feel the hard drive vibrating, the cd rom door opens and closes, and that is it. there is nothing on the screen and the monitor light stays amber. i have tried the monitor on my pc and it works. i know the mobo cpu memory and video card worked before.
anyone have any ideas
thanks

Well power is getting through (check the fans are working).
Check all cables and circuits on the mobo are correctly secured and undamaged. Check that all slot cards and RAM chips are firmly in place. See if any heat is coming off the processor. Other than that mate, ask an expert.

Sounds like the video card man

Take it out...
and put it back in make sure its in firmly.
Also check the power going into the board and all devices..
Those beeps are the video card man

You might also check that you don't have an extra mounting post somewhere under the board grounding a circuit.
