Hello,

Recently purchased an assortment of computer parts to assemble with
existing working parts from another machine into a working unit.
-Mach Speed MS945G-GLV Socket 775 Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33Ghz 4MB 1333FSB CPU
-Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz (2x1024)
-EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI
-400w power supply unit

So, I take everything out and arrange it on the hardwood floor to get
started.
First, installed the CPU and fan on the mother board.
Plugged the wires from the fan into the appropriate spot on the
motherboard.
Found the system speaker and popped that on the proper pins.
Plugged the 4-pin power thingy into the appropriate spot on the
motherboard.
Plugged the larger 24-pin power thingy into the appropriate spot on
the motherboard.
Plugged power supply into the wall and shorted out the two pins to
supply power to the motherboard.

CPU fan and power supply fans spin.
Nothing beeps.
System has "on-board video" so I hook up my monitor but get no
picture.
For kicks, I install the new video card and plug in 4-pin power thingy
into that, as required.
Still no picture.

Unplug everything, then replug and try again.
Fans spin but nothing beeps, no video.

Unplugged everything, removed jumper thingy and cmos battery and made
a sandwich.
Came back, put jumper back in normal operation mode, popped in the
battery.
Plug bare minimum things back in, short out the pins to get power.

CPU fan and power supply fans spin.
Still no beeps.
Still nothing from the on-board video.

Called motherboard support number, which walked me through the entire
thing all over again.
Had me try the same process first with a stick of ram and then
without.
Also had me remove the fan and short out the two pins to gain power
while holding my finger directly above the CPU to see if it was
generating heat. I burned my finger.
He said the problem was with my CPU and that I should replace it.

I would check your memory. I have found that bad memory will kill everything including
video and cmos.
