I have built my own computer by buying from separate places off the internet. I have come across a problem i cannot solve, and i have asked many people who know a lot about computers but they cannot figure this out.
These are the parts:
Motherboard: SOYO SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra-Platinum VIA KT333 Socket A for AMD/XP
Video Card: MSI Nvidia GeForce 4 ti 4600 with 128mg of ram
Cpu: Amd 2200+
Moniter: Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2020u
A CDRW Drive and DVD Drive
Case: RAIDMAX - EXONIC with 400w power supply
Ram: 512mg of DDR 2700
I have put everything together (except the cpu into the motherboard,which came bundled; but i placed the fan onto the cpu), i turn it on, i hear whirring of drives and lights on motherboard turn on. But i don't hear any beeps and my moniter doesn't display anything, i can't even get into the bios. I have double checked the moniter and video card so i know it cannot be these. I then unhooked everything but power bottun, motherboard, videocard, ram, and moniter. It still didn't work. I even took it out of the case to make sure it wasn't shorting. I would appreciate any Help i could get. Thank you.
I had a similar problem when I got mine. Did you try just having motherboard, cpu, and power. If it beeps, add things one by one until no beeps are heard. If it doesn't beep with JUST motherboard, cpu, and power, try clearing CMOS (its in the manual), it might be the bus is wrong and for some reason the first boot it won't auto adjust. And give it time. The very first boot up takes a minute or two before anything happens (including beeps). The start-up is always slow. So be patient.
