Hi...
I'm trying to build a rig for my sister using my old MSI648Max mobo, brand new Celeron D 340 Socket 478 (533FSB), 2X256MB PC2100 (old) and a brand new Radeon 9550. I got a new Antec case with a 350W PSU to put it all in...
When I switch on the PC, nothing shows up on the monitor. It's like the computer is still off. There are no beep sounds from the onboard speaker either. All fans work and the DVD drive spins for a bit but after that, absolutely nothing. I dunno if the mobo isn't recognising the CPU or not recognising the Graphics card. Either way, no signal is gettting through tho the monitor and I can't see if the thing is tring to POST or not.
My first guess is that the mobo has had it. It recently had to travel all the way from Japan to England. Does this sound like a mobo problem?
Or, could the CPU clock speed be too high for the mobo to handle? it runs at 2.93Ghz. I'd really appreciate some help on this as I'm going back to Japan at the weekend and need to have this sorted before I go...
Apologies if this should be in the mobo forum...
