Check your bios settings first.If thats not it > Then remove the
motherboard from system and dry run it out of the case sitting it very
carefully on some insulating cardboard or such. (Apply power
connections, add memory check cooling heat sink attached OK and only
connect the video card to system leave key board leds etc conneted for
the moment.) Test system like this. Failing anything working, then
remove all wiring to keyboard speakers leds etc. It may be shorted to
board by loose screw or other short to case when it was mounted to
system. Here's hoping... Static electricity can cause problems and alos
the heatsink to the CPU may have moved causing problem. Beeps OK?
Let us know how you get on...
