I recently purchased the following:
Intel P4 Cedar Mill 3.0ghz LGA 775 Proc
Asus P5VD2-VM SE Micro ATX Mobo
Kingston 1gb 240-pin DDR2 677 (PC2 5300)
I already had a case a 500watt ps (20+4pin config) it's a cheap power supply called Turbolink and I think this guy is
my problem but let me tell you what happened.
After I got everything installed I booted up the computer and got nothing I tried multiple things. Checked the stick of ram in another computer it booted up fine so it's not a ram issue. This mobo has onboard video so I know it's not
a video card problem. Long story short I ended up buying a different power supply a antec 500watt with dual 12v rails and that didn't help either. I thought maybe something was wrong with the Asus P5VD2-VM SE mobo so I RMA'd it back to newegg.com and purchased a different motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2 Micro ATX mobo
I set this thing up today and i'm getting the EXACT same problem, no post beep but the power is on. Also when I initially went to boot this board up I had to switch the power supply from 115v to 230v so I'am wondering if this is a power issue but I hard returned the antec 500w ps so I was unable to test it on this board. It has onboard video and still nothing comes up on the monitor. I even pulled a second speaker off of an old case and plugged it in just in case my case speaker was shot still nothing. I tried plugging the speaker cable in different ways on the boards jumper.....nothing. I also did try putting different 1 gb ram stick in this thing and that doesn't help either.
Does anyone have any idea? I'm desperate here, I've built over 10 computer and have never ever had this trouble before! I can't think of any other ideas....it doesn't make any sense since i've used 2 mobo, 2 ps, different ram,
video isn't an issue yet due to onboard video and I have a hard time beliving this is a cpu issue.
THANK YOU!
