I just purchased this motherboard and put in a 2gig celeron processor.
I purchased two 128MB PC2100 266Mhz DDR RAM chips (they are also
PC1600 compatible). I checked the traces on the back of the
motherboard to make sure what wires the grounds go to on the power
switch and reset switch. I have not hooked up any drives yet. I want
to get the bios to boot before I take parts from another computer. It
has onboard video. When that didnt work I hooked up an old Voodoo 3
to the agp slot. The monitor would kick on but there was no signal so
it just went into power management mode. The power supply on the case
is around 500watts so that cant be the problem. The only thing I can
think of is, the case does not have screws that hold the motherboard
down. Instead it has these metal clips that go through the screw
holes in the motherboard and hold it down. They seem to be making a
good connection and they are holding the board in place. If you have
any suggestions please let me know.
thanks
Dave
