Hi,
Pulling my hair out now. Building a pc to use as a file server.
Specs:
p4 3.0Ghz CPU - Used
Some cheap mobo - New
2Gig Ram (2 x 1gig)
HDD 640Gb - used
DVD ROM - Used
Put this altogether last week - Fans spin, mobo light on, HDD ticking over - No beebs- But nothing on the monitor?
So took it all apart, rebuilt tested outside of the case - same thing.???
Got a new mobo from ebuyer (presumed it was that) - just put it all together - same thing.
Is it the CPU?.... OR because i've got no external monitor i'm using my TV through VGA connection.
However i've always used the TV in the past to test my rigs?
A used P4 from ebay won't cost me the earth, but before i get one has anyone got any suggestions.
