Computer i built won't boot up?!?!?
Hi, I'm new here and i have a problem. I built a new computer yesterday:
intel celeron 2.66 ghz
matsonic ms9377c+ (478) motherboard
geforce mx 400 agp 8x vid card
512 ddr ram 400mhz
160gb hdd
My problem is that when i go to power it on for the first time it beeps and i here the hard drive spinning and the cooling fan for the processor spins but the monitor stays in standby. I've made sure the video card is pushed in all the way and so is the ram. One thing i've noticed is that the floppy drive also doesn't respond (meaning it doesn't light up when machine is powered on). I heard the way to check to make sure the processr works is to remove the fan and power it on and touch to see if it heats up...and it does, so that cant be the problem. I'm afraid that my mobo is bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i could do before i buy a new mobo or what else the problem could be. I don't have a multimeter so i can't test for any voltage
Any help would be truly appreciated
thanx
