Hi everyone,
I built a system and everything comes on except I don't hear a Post, I put the speaker wire both ways on the board and nothing. When I hook up the computer to my monitor I don't get anything on the screen, just a flashing light on the monitor power button. I reseated RAM, Video card and made sure all connections are okay. I even removed the processor and reseated it, just fastening the heatsink/Fan enough to start the system to hear a beep, but nothing. By the way, what are all those connectors with the label "Vcc D D GnD?" Those are connected as well. The reason I think the CPU might be dead is that with my AMD system, about 3 weeks ago, I had the same symptoms when I tried to install the CPU after straightening out some pins on the CPU. With that system I got No beep. I replaced the CPU and the system worked. So is my CPU dead? Unfortunately I waited too long to start putting the system together due to things that needed to be taken care of, so I can't return the CPU to newegg for replacement. The CPU is intel E4300. Before I purchase another one, I would like to know what you guys think.
Please help as soon as you can as I am looking to order the processor and finish setting up before I leave town in about a week. I will be gone for 3 weeks.
Thanks
Ron
