Hey all,
I appreciate any help you can give me with this problem. I just built a new system from all new parts online:
AMD T-Bird 1.33 ghz
Asus A7M266 Board
Micron PC2100 DDR (256)
Elsa GeForce2 Ultra DDR 64
IBM Desktar HDD
300 Watt PS
Everything is put together, I get power on the mobo and the video card, all fans, the CD Rom powers up, but the HDD doesnt spin up and the monitor gets no signal at all. I also get no POST beep codes (yes the speaker is plugged in!) The machine acts the exact same way if I take out the processor and turn it on. I was unaware that the ATX form factor allowed you to power-on w/o a processor.
And I guess it's worth mentioning that I chipped a (very small) piece off of the core of the processor when I installed the heatsink, and I'm fairly sure that's the problem. Man I feel like an idiot. I just want to make sure that the above symptoms point to a bad/no processor.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
