Sorry for the generic post title!!
Ok heres the deal this isnt my first newbuild..Ive done a few before although it has been 5 years since the last one..lol
Heres the parts list
ABPower LC-8320BTX 300W PSU
AMD X2 4000+ 2.1GHz 2x512KB L2 cache 65Watt AM2 Socket
ECS Geforce 6100sm-m MATX AM2 DDR2 VGA LAN
Rendition 1GB 667MHz PC5300 DDR2 Memory
NEC 5170A 18x DVDRW Double Layer Black OEM Drive
DiamondMax 21 80GB PATA 7200rpm 2MB Cache Hard Drive
Basically this is just a really super budget system for a friend...Remembering some of the mistakes from my previous builds i started of simple and set up the mobo in the case connected the power and monitor and attempted a post test. Got no bios on the monitor and no beeps whatsoever..However you can hear the psu working and the case lights are on.
Now i couldnt remember if you needed memory installed for a post (although i didnt think you did ) But tried installing some anyway but i still get the same result.
Now i didnt want to go any further in the build until i diagnose either a mobo or psu fault...however with the power "seemingly" working it looks like the mobo. Ive tried moving the cmos jumpers just incase (the manual isnt overly clear on what is reset and what is normal).
Also an unusual thing i hadnt seen before is the mobo comes with a little speaker with a little 4 pin connector although again the manual makes no mention of it and i cand find a socket on the mobo for it to fit inot..the closest we have is the CD IN socket. Again with no speaker im thinking how can it POST anyway.
Any help would be much appreciated before i go sending the MOBO back.
Cheers in advance
Scottie
