Problem with new rig
Hi all,
I just built a new AMD Athlon 64 4000 rig with a geforce 7600gt video card, asus a8n mobo with Antec True Power Trio TP3-430 ATX12V 430W . I got it all together but when I power it up nothing happens. All the fans come on in the case, cpu, and video card. But nothing else happens, now warning sounds and the display just stays black. I tried a different Hard drive and it still just does the same thing. What should I try nex? Any help appreciated. Thanks |

Have you got a flat bios battery? Try the battery from your old board? CMOS
jumper set to normal and not clear bios option? |

Turns out that there was a grounding problem with either a m/b mounting screw or contact between the underside of the board and the case in one spot. I'd remove the board from the case, check for issues and reinstall. Theother suggestions are all good ones too. |

Problem with new rig
FYI:
You'll get bios POST (boot) and be able to access the bios with just the bare essentials.... That is with just the CPU, RAM and Graphic card installed... as previously stated without this POST nothing will happen because when you hit that power ON button the bios wakes up, looks in the mirror if all is well gives a beep if all is well handing over the control to the CPU which then request that window and any start up programmes to be loaded into RAM ~ if he don't like the look's he'll hop back into bed and leave you pondering. Supposing.... with just the bare essentials all was ok and you got the bios to POST and give that single bleep... "Oh dear wots gonna happen with no hard drive", it will simply ask you to 'Insert the disc with the operasting system on" or something to that effect.... may be even "Operating System not found" So the first goal is getting the bios to POST boot.
