PNY GF3 Ti200 + IWILL KK266 (VIA KT133A) - NO GO!

[cblinkov]

OK, here's the deal. I got my new PNY GF3 Ti200 last night and it seems to work great. However, I started to have this weird problem. My computer wouldn't boot up! I mean, I turn the power on - both CPU and video fans start spinning, CDRW and DVD start blinking (but wouldn't open if I press a button), BUT THE HD doesn't seem to spin. NO GO!

What could be the problem?? Worked great with my ATI Radeon LE, never had a single problem.

AMD Athlon A 1.13
IWILL KK266 (VIA KT133A)
512 PC133 RAM
IBM 75GXP 30 GB (no bad sectors or anything)
300 Watt PS (all voltages are normal, except 4.8V actual where it should be 5V)

cblinkov,

I hope this is not your problem, but it sounds close. I don't know if the latest GF3's still have this problem.

if your screen display nothing, take off & reinsert your agp gf3 gc.

if this don't work, try to rollback your ring.
take off your gf3 gc & reinstall the old one to verify there isn't any problem elsewhere.

note: gc & hard disk aren't directly linked on a comp.


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.
