Yesterday when I finally got all the pieces to my new computer I was dying to assemble it...
Complete spec:
1700+ JIUHB 0308
NF7-S v2.0
SLK-800
2x512 Corsair XMS3500
Antec LANBOY (350W Antec TrueBlue)
Sapphire 9700Pro AIW
2x 180GB IBM HDs (not connected so far)
I started to build everything on the motherboard sitting on it's anti-static bag outside of the case. I was just going to use one stick of RAM + cpu + graphics card to make sure that everything worked ok so far...
I attach power to the card and the red diod lights up.
I press the power button and the fans starts and runs for like 2 seconds and then powers off.
This made me a bit confused, so I start to remove everything, RAM, graphics card and so on until it works, seems like it has to do with the extra power cable to my AIW card. If that one is connected, I get this symtom of 2 second fanspin... if you remove it the fans start and continue to run... (the green diod lights up as well). Tried the card in two other computers and the same thing happend there. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Is it the power supply that is too weak to support the AIW card? (Even though you would think that it could support a 1700+ at default spec and an AIW card).
Unfortunally the problems didn't end here.. since the graphics card was behaving a bit strange, I switched it for an old PCI card.
This didn't go particularly well, the fans start and continue to run but I get no beeps from the PC-speaker and just a black screen on the monitor.. (Both PCI card and monitor tested, and they work)
I've tried clearing CMOS, tried with different RAM (Generic PC2100), switched to different DIMM slots, tried without RAM, without graphicscard but I never get any beeps...
Plz help..
