This is my first build with all new components. I purchased from Newegg, TigerDirect, and Directron.
Biostar TForce4U NF4U (939)
AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400+ 2.2GHz
2 x 1024 Ultra DDR PC3200 400MHz
e-GeForce 7300 GS PCI-e
Titanium Ultra X-2 Connect 550w SLI PSU
Compucase Rackmount Enclosure 4U, 3 Fans
(2) 300 Gb Maxtor SATA Drives, 7200/16mb
Initially I mounted the motherboard and installed the processor, I hooked up the PSU and my video card to try to get to POST, but nothing appeared on the monitor. The fans spin but that's about it. LED_D1 and LED_D2 did not light, indicating a CPU/Chipset error according to Biostar's manual.
After lurking around here looking for clues, I pulled the Mobo and put it on a box to see if it was a short. Then I just connected the CPU/cooler, 1 stick of ram, gfx and psu. Same thing. No led_d1 or d2.
I also hear no beeps when ram is absent or when the gfx card is out. The speaker was connected. I've reseated the Ram, CPU & gfx card. I've cleared the cmos. Same result. I have no other processor to try. I did try a different gfx card though.
I've been spinning wheels for a few days now. Biostar and Newegg support aren't very helpful. Any help would be appreciated before I get RMAs for stuff.
Thanks.
