I think she called a weekend break. Even so, I think she has everything in
the first order installed.
Hey Miracle, if you have a graphics card you could put in a PCI slot, you
should just check to make sure the board will post before adding any other
peripherals. There is a chance you may have to take it out and try it out
of the case, and it's much easier with just the bare minimum installed.

Missed the weekend break call. My bad.
And, isn't it fun hunting down trouble from a bare board up?

Building from scratch is like the geek equivalent of extreme sports! There
is a little rush of adrenaline every time before you apply power to that new
build...will it post or not! Man talk about a roller coaster ride. When
they don't post your heart falls right into your stomach. :^) Build enough
and you will see all the different scenarios, including frying components.

I've rarely had a problem putting PC's past POST. I was more worried at
the cracks, creaks and bends in hardware that was not designed to make
such noises, during installation. Something always seemingly goes
horribly wrong, and it all seems to work in the end.
Even installed one motherboard where my spacers weren't all identical
length. First system I built myself, actually. Tough to get the final
screws in, but it worked fine for its entire lifetime so far (currently
at a friend's place as the main PC).

Oh, you guys are going to be *so* sorry you're helping a relic

BIOS, as I've wussed out and had GNA attack the beasts when
BIOS help was needed. Hell, I didn't even know that's where the
