My computer automatically turns on as soon as power is connected to it(I don't have to hit the power button so I can't figure that out). The fans turn on, the lights come on, and I hear some sounds from the hard drives. After this, nothing happens. There's no series of beeps, nothing boots.
I figured it to either be the motherboard or the processor. Cpu was cheaper so I replaced it first, no go. So I thought for sure it was the mb so I ordered one. Hooked it up, still no go(damn thing shipped from China so I had to wait forever to get it in; cheapest shipping but wasn't paying attention).
I have no idea what's causing this. I've already wasted $130 on this older system, but I really need this up and running, because it's gonna be another six months to a year before I step up to another computer.
I'm running windows xp on an anthlon 64 3400, gigabyte k8nf, 1g ram, radeon x800.
I really don't know what else to do so if someone could help me it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
