[SOLVED] Things never go as planned...

Saintrocker · 07-16-2009, 04:37 PM

so i just put together a new computer because my old one was...well...OLD, and im having a problem (go figure?).

specs:
Mobo: Foxconn 648X7MF-S SiS 648FX Socket 775
CPU: Intel Celeron D 347 3.06GHz LGA775
RAM: pqi POWER Series 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 6200 DDR 256MB AGP

Problem:
Okay I'll bet that this is a common problem but i hate spending hours looking all over the internet to try and find an answer.
So i set up my computer turned it on and got nothing on the monitor. Power is good to the fan and CD-ROM. no response from the monitor. video card is good, i checked it in my other computer. also tried another card. same result. i have switched the RAM out to no avail. power supply is good, hence power to everything else. CPU is new out of the box, as is the Mobo. The first stick of RAM was new as well.

Any suggestions?

Try clearing the CMOS first, if still nothing do the bench test follow the instructions here don't skip any steps> How to Bench Test Your System

and welcome to the Forum

What brand/wattage is the power supply?

You can click on the Bench Test link in my signatrure and follow those troubleshooting steps

I went through the bench test. no luck

Saintrocker · 07-16-2009, 06:12 PM

Any other suggestions? i have been looking around online but not finding much.

Thank you very much

You are welcome . . let us kno how it comes out

Do you have the 20 pin and the 4 pin CPU power plugs hooked up?

Providing you have`a motherboard or case speaker hooked does it beep continuously if you attempt to boot with all the ram removed?

Another issue the board supports Prescott core 90nm cpu's the Celeron D 347 is a 65nm Cedar Mill core, And the 347D is not on the support list > http://www.foxconnsupport.com/cpusup...7MF-S&cputype=

Saintrocker · 07-16-2009, 06:49 PM

so then that CPU would definitely not work with that motherboard?

i did all the checks, and i tried to get the sys speaker to beep but no luck

That is one of the shortest CPU support lists I've seen in a long time, I would think not there are only older 90nm cpu's listed on it.
