I've just built a new computer. It doesn't POST. It doesn't even get my monitor out of sleep mode. What it does do is spin the hard drive, system fans and CPU fans. The video card fan also spins.
I bought 2 sticks of RAM. I tryed using each stick individually to no avail. I tryed pulling out and re inserting everything. I have everything but the escentials unplugged and still have the same problem. I've plugged the monitor back into my old computer, it works fine. I tryed unplugging and replugging the video card.
The computer is all new technology (compaired to my alod computer). New processor socket, changed to PCI Express (from agp), 184 pin to 240 pin RAM, SATA hard drive. The only thing new that I can play with in another machine is the DVD drive. So testing individual componnents is impossible.
The stuff:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Orleans 2000MHz HT 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor
Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
eVGA 256-P2-N554-AX Geforce 7600GT KO 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
gigaram 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
Any thoughts on what is wrong? Should I RMA something?
