It seems laike forever i've been trying to put this system togehter for my buddy. this is the second MB we have got, the first was a refurb BD7-II RAID from newegg. Now we sent that one back b/ it didn't work and just got a plain BD7-II.
Well i'm not the best at putting computers together, but i have built about 3 or 4 for my buddies, an di work part time at a romputer rental company wher ei format HD's and change computer components all day long.
This is the problem: I've gone through all the steps of taking this out puttign this in to find the soruce. nothing seems to work. When i hit the power button. i get a constant series of long beeps. I've tried everything to my knowledge, and can't figure it out. Al i have hooked up as of now is the GF card, HD, ram ,cpu/cpu HS fan. that's it, still i ge tthe beeps, we tried putting in a GF2mx. same thing.
the componets are as follows:
MB: Abit BD7-II
CPU: P4 1.8a
HS: cooler master H-71
ram: single stick Corsair XMS 3200 512meg
HD: IBM 60 7200rpm
Vid: Gainward ti4200 128meg golden sample
cdr: lite on 40x
dvd: lite on 16x
SC: SB live 5.1 value
Modem: diamond supra max 56k
Case: Blue Cheiftec full tower
I'm hoping it's not the proc, i put on ASIII and made sure i wiped any excess with alcohol so i know there isn't any on it where it shouldn't be. I can't think of anything else other than the MB isn't grounded right but how do i check that?. these are all new parts and no refurbs. All from newegg.
If you have any ideas at all please let me know b/ my buddy leaves for school this thursday!!!!!
Thanks everyone
