computer checks cpu, loads ram and then... nothing.

I am troubleshooting a friend's computer and something weird happens.
The computer starts, discovers the processor, checks the memory and...
nothing. Doesn't go pass the startup screen, and does not let me enter
the bios setup.

The computer is an old Shuttle SV24. There is absolutely nothing
plugged in at the moment. No CD, no HD, nothing (just trying to enter
the setup). I am running it w/ one PC100 stick of 256 MBs (according to
my research, this POS runs w/ either PC100 or PC133). It's not the
processor, I already replaced that.
Any clues?
Thanks,

-Facundo.

nope, I am running an intel piii sl45w
http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SL45W.html
the bus runs @100MhZ.

BTW, if that were the case (133 bus w/ 100 ram), would these be the
symptoms? (not entering setup).

Thanks,

-Facundo.

are you running a cpu with an fsb of 133 with sd100 ram?

you need sd133 ram

it sounds like ram failure thus my theory

Some boards need a keyboard & a HD connected.
