So quoth Falaanla Marr:
yep , sure are., motherboard has power and all.
Check your power supply, right where the plug that goes into the wall connects to it. There should be a recessed little switch with voltage readings on it.
For your sake, I hope it's set to 115v
That, or I want another excuse to say shat.
This same thing happened to me when my CPU was burned up.

He said he couldn't get a beep from the system even without anything attached?
Boot up.
If it gives you a POST beep, start adding in devices until you receive no POST. Starting with the video card. Then the IDE cables, then the sound card, then the network card. Whatever you add that stops it from POSTing is the problem.
The reason it might be fubar is because he might have it set to 220v, european voltage.
For some FUCKING UNKNOWN REASON a lot of power supplies come pre-set to european voltage.

It does suck. I'm finding that a LOT of computer parts are faulty. THere's just too much that can go wrong. No company, no matter how good, seems to be able to keep their parts in perfect working order. It's annoying as hell. I swear, I almost EXPECT half the parts I buy not to work first go...

Kegwen 2.0 obviously shouldn't have said:
It's not faulty. You reversed your IDE cables. Trust me. I had the EXACT same problem.
But he said nothing was plugged in...
*eats Maradon*

ACES! Another post by Maradön²:
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE VOLTAGE, MAN!?
thats in the bios settings.
And kegwen: that might be the problem if i had anything ide plugged in

Didn't read that part. I saw one part of the problem.
Either what Maradon said or somebody pissed on your board. Excuse me lack of reading skillz.

NOT THAT VOLTAGE STUPID! THE VOLTAGE SWITCH ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY! THE 115v/220v RECESSED SWITCH!

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO KNOW!!!
Was it set to 115 or did you just now set it so?

been set to 115.
Is your CPU seated well on the mobo?
Edit: Oh and are the few plugs you DO have plugged in all nice and snug? I know that's always the first thing checked, but sometimes those buggers can fake you out but good. [ 07-16-2002: Message edited by: Katjya ]

Sorry. Been wanting to do that for a while.
Thinking about your posts
(and billing you for it) since 2001
I had a friend that bought an Intel 1.8 chip semi-recently from an on-line source and the damned chip came in missing one of the pins. Took him 4 days to figure out what the hell was going on.
got an RMA number from newegg, just incase...
Gonna go up to the store and buy me a amd processor and mobo and hook them up, see if i get the same problem. if i do, i know where the problem is (vid card, im told). If i dont im gonna stick with AMD. im sorry but a fucking system shouldnt be this hard to set up.
