PLEASE HELP!! NO POST!
Here is the system I’ve finally pieced together.
New
8SQ800 Ultra
2.4b
2 256 MB sticks of Generic PC3200 from Hardcore cooling
Swifttech mcx4000
---
Old
IDE 1 Primary -Seagate 10 GB hard drive - C:
IDE 2 Primary -Toshiba DVD/CD- E:
Slave 15 GB WD - D:
TEAC Floppy A:
Antec Trueower 430
It can’t be a dead board because I tried two different motherboards. I Installed the 8SQ800 Ultra last night. Went to boot up and all the fans started running, the DVD drive spins and lights up but that’s it. The floppy light never comes on and it doesn’t start to post. I turned the floppy connection upside down and the floppy light comes on and stays on as it should, but obviously still no post. Thought I might have a dead board so I switched out the Ultra for a straight 8SQ800 and there was no change from above. Still no action from the floppy, no beep, nothing from the monitor, no post.
I could have missed something, but I had not heard of the Generic PC3200 to be causing this problem with the SiS655 boards and I do not currently have any others to switch out (upgrading from a PC133 board).
Any ideas?
