I've built a machine using Athlon xp 2400, AMD K7S8X, 333DDR and
Radeon 9200SE. When I switch on, the machine goes through the POST,
and stops after the memory test beep. I notice the optical mouse is
receiving power up to that point, and then goes dead. The machine
will then state it can't boot from A:/ (or words to that effect).
Then the mouse is dead, as is the keyboard.
I've pulled out every wire, put them back, removed all IDE and floppy
cables and devices. Moved everything around in the BIOS. No joy.
I know it's gonna be something simple, but I just can't figure it out.
All help appreciated.
Thanks.
