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
Go right back to the basics, remove everything except
the cpu and see if it will beep complaining about no ram.
If it wont, check if the cmos reset jumper is in the reset
position and reset the cmos if its in the normal position.
If it does beep with just the cpu, add the ram and
see if it will whine about the lack of a video card.
If it does, check that the video card is compatible with that motherboard.
Most likely it isnt.
