I have posted this on the back of someone elses thread, but haven't heard from anyone, so am starting my own thread, so apologies to those who have already read this.

I have just upgraded my CPU, RAM and case, but because it has been a while since my last build, (which are usually few and far between), I think I may have missed something, like wiring up the case to the MOBO wrong.

I put it all together, the buttons work, lights and fans come on, but nothing else, no beep, no drive spinning, no video. I know the internal speaker works, because I removed all the RAM and it beeped like mad at me.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance.

Hi bipbop, what are the details of your new computer, and your power supply?

CPU? RAM? Motherboard? etc etc

This are the main components

CPU = AMD Duron 1800 266FSB CPU
MOBO = ASRock K7S8X
RAM = Kingston KVR400X64Z3A/512
PSU = Jeantech JNP-400
HDD = Maxtor 7200rpm 80GB
Graphics = ATI Radeon 92000SE 128M DDR TVO
SOund = Genius Soundblaster 5.1

Is that enough or do you need something else too?

Ok, generally when there's no activity on the monitor, and no beeps until you remove the ram...this means that there is not enough power going through the computer to the components.

Double check to make sure there is power to the back of the video card (some cards require extra power then they get fromt he slot)

Thanks GaRHaR,

I managed to figure it out - one of my FSB jumpers was wrong.

Thanks you for your time.
