I'm totally confused on this, i've been working with computers for a while and havent came across anything like it.
I have a motherboard, 478pin P4. Not sure on the exact model, it's an AsRock Ge Pro M2 or some such. Also have a Pentium Celeron 2.4GHz CPU. The motherboard specs said the CPU should work.
Also have some 2700DDR memory, 2 256's.
Everythign is brand new.
I've RMA'd the motherboard/cpu twice because it wouldnt work so it shouldnt be them. Tried memory in another system and it works, and its rated for this motherboard.
When it's all hooked up, i turn it on and nothing happens. PS fan and CPU fan turn on and that's it. I do have the special auxilary power connector plugged in.
I get no beeps from a known good speaker, no display, nothing. Even if I only have the CPU and motherboard plugged in it doesnt do anything. I know if I take out the memory on other systems it'll beep. This one doesn't.
Any clues?
If its not compatibility, i tried another motherboard with same results, and I've RMA'd the CPU a few times what can it be?
