Just installed a new Motherboard~Need Help Please

Johnny Law · 11-16-2004, 10:37 PM

I just installed a new Motherboard, made sure all the jumpers were correct, installed everything the way I usually do, I try to start up the computer I can hear the hard drive the cpu fan - cd rom works etc... But my problem is that nothing is showing up on my monitor So I tried the onboard video instead of the AGP video card, tried different monitors pretty much everything and still my computer starts up but nothing will come on the monitor? Any suggestions>?

What is your motherboards make/model?

What kind of processor do you have?

Johnny Law · 11-16-2004, 10:45 PM

I have a PC chips K7 Motherboard FSB333 Model # M863G

The processor is an AMD Duron 600 I think or 500 either or

Try pulling the CMOS battery for a couple minutes...

Johnny Law · 11-16-2004, 10:52 PM

I tried that for about 6 hours.. and I also tried moving the jumper on JP2 to Clear so it would clear the cmos and still nothing

**jcline** · 11-16-2004, 10:58 PM

have you tried disabling the onboard in the BIOS?

Johnny Law · 11-16-2004, 11:14 PM

Johnny Law · 11-16-2004, 11:37 PM

Make sure you have BOTH power connectors attached 20-pin and the 12V.

phuknuoff · 11-17-2004, 09:39 PM

what power connectors?

Carol Greene · 11-18-2004, 06:55 PM

The power connectors come from the power supply and go to the mother board. They are white and one has a twenty pin holes (female) and the other is square and has four little holes (also female) that connect to the motherboard.

I know ..It was a joke

I had exactly the same problem you described and asked the same questions and got the same replies. What I did in the end was check the memory! Make sure the memory works and is installed correctly and setup ok.
Start with just the CPU and Fan, memory, power button and keyboard plugged in. With the PSU attached (obviously) and see if it POSTS.

(I still can't get Win XP to boot but it does POST now)

You can't get XP setup to load or XP won't boot after the setup?

Johnny Law, I have seen this issue resolved many times by trying a different power supply. Can you post the specs of your power supply?
