Hi,
I recently have bought some new components to build a new computer
(rescuing a hard drive, CD-RW, DVD-RW, sound and graphics cards from an
old computer)
My problem is I have put it all together and the computer wont boot.
All the case fans and CPU fan are going, the LEDs light up (power full
and the HDD faintly) But there is no video signal out. I have also
noticed that the DVD drive powers up but the CD drive does not (tried
swapping the power plugs around) and I am now at a loss and need some
advice. I have only ever built one system up before but that was
relatively simple compared to this.
The components are an Asus P5P 800 PE motherboard, Intel Pentium D 930,
Maxtor 120GB HDD Drive and a 48oW PSU
First check the basics, e.g. see if any extra motherboard standoffs
are installed in the case. They can cause shorts/grounds when they
contact the underside of the motherboard. Also make sure you
have a power plug to your video card (if it has one), a plug to your
CPU power socket (if it has one) etc.
.
