 |
|
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 |

Is the ATX12V 2x2 square connector, connected to the motherboard ? There
are at least two power connectors for the motherboard.

Pull out everything but CPU, 1 stick of RAM and your video card. Swap |
out parts one by one if possible. I'd start with the power supply. Of
course, double checking all connections is a given.

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

I've run into this the odd time with a few other boards. 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. |

Make sure the cpu heat sink is seated correctly. If it is not, you will |
not post.

How ya doin, Nobody? Try holding the insert key down for 10 seconds or |
so when you power up. This has worked for me on a few different boards.
If you have an old pci video card install that to rule out video problems. |

Looks like it is failing to POST if no beeps at all.
Make sure monitor is not in sleep mode, then--
1. Try clearing CMOS and try to boot.
2. Re-seat the video card and video cable
3. Re-seat RAM.
Are those SATA hard drives?

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.
