After upgrading my motherboard my machine will not POST. I get no beeps and no video signal (the monitor power indicator quickly turns from green to amber). The cooling fans run but the machine just sits there. My components are:
Athlon XP 1900+
MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR (purchased new from ZipZoomFly 4/2006)
Seagate 120 MB Ultra ATA 100
1 stick of Crucial 512MB PC-2100
2 sticks of Micron 256MB PC-2100
Asus 9250… video card (AGP with GeForce 5200 chip)
Soundblaster Live!
Pioneer DVR-108 burner
Lite-On DVD-ROM player
Iomega Zip-250
Teac floppy drive
Enlight 300W power supply
Windows XP Home SP2
I tried the following remedies in this order without success:
Checked for grounding from misplaced stand off/base screw.
Reset the CMOS using the jumper method.
[restarted]
Replaced the CMOS battery with a known good one.
[restarted]
Verified 120V input to power supply (which is correctly set for US voltage).
Verified 12V output to yellow/black on Molex.
Verified 5V output to red/black on Molex.
Verified 3.3V output to green/black on P1 motherboard connection.
Tried a different, known good, ATX power supply.
[restarted]
Disconnected all IDE components, except for the one (known good) hard drive, which was plugged into IDE 1 and designated as master. (The cable connection was the master one as well).
[restarted]
Inserted each stick of RAM, one at a time, into DIMM 1.
[restarted after each change]
Removed IDE hard drive and installed a Seagate SATA drive (brand new and presumed good).
[restarted]
The board appears DOA. Before I request an RMA, have I eliminated all the other factors?
I would like anyone's suggestions/input on anything else I might try. I appreciate your help.
