I've built 3 PCs at home with no problem, but now I'm stumped.
I wanted to put together a fourth box - so I got a new motherboard and a
new case. Bottom line: when I first tried to power up - the CPU fan
would spin but I'd get no video, no post beeps, or anything to indicate
what the problem was.
The problem has further progressed to where the PC won't even go on -
the power light flickers but that's about it.
I have tried using the same mobo in several different cases.
I even used another known working motherboard.
I swapped out various components (video, memory, power supplies).
I considered that the motherboard and/or CPU could be fried, but there's
been nothing to indicate that and I did try a different board. When I
got the new board I used a CPU that I had, so maybe THAT could be the
problem - but I figure it would still power up.
Never had a problem like this! I'm stumped. Any help appreciated.
The board is a Biostar P4TSE-D2. The chip is a Pentium 4 2.6 ghz.
