I just started building a new sytem: P4C800-E Delux, 2 SATA Drives,
one floppy, a DVD Burner and an extra CD Burner (both Lite-on). The
processor is a 3.2 gig Intel P-4. For memory I have 1 gig on 2 PC3200
DDR400 Corsair sticks (with heat sinks), and for video an AT Raedon
9800 card. The whole thing is powered by a 400 Watt A1 power supply.
My screen is a MAG innovision flat screen (works fine with my old
system from a standard 9-pin video connector). I installed everything
in a brand new Antec alumininum case. (This isn't the first computer
I've built -- it's the 15th 0r 16th -- so I'm not new at this. In the
past, I've used Asus boards, Intel, MCI, and even FIC with no
problems.) I hooked up all power buttons and LEDs properly, made sure
the video card was powered, installed the memory as directed, etc.
Here's what happens -- everthing seems to start, the drives whir and
the fans come on, but it won't boot. I get nothing on my video sceen
except a message that says there is no video. I tried everything I
knew to get it to work. Still no boot. It runs for about 40 seconds,
making the fans turn, then just shuts itself off. I thought it might
be the video card, so I tried it with the card from my old system (an
Asus 64 meg card). No response. Finally, I returned the processor
and mother board, got two new ones, and tried several times again. No
boot. I tried different power supplies I have -- still nothing.
I know there must be some simple and obvious solution to this, but I
can't think of it. Can someone provide some advice? (Or do I simply
return $800 of parts and offer a sacrifice to the gods of cyberspace
to keep my old computer running?)
Thanks,
Will
