MOBO Wont BOOT UP

by Neoveride Dec 22, 2004 5:33AM PST

I was wondering if any one would be able to help me:

I recently bought a new MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-7N400 PRO2. I also bought a new case (which is no probs), a new power supply: Q-TEC 450W, new RAM: Kingston 512MB DDR Pc3200, and a new processor: AMD 3200+. I kept my old graphics card: Nvidia 64MB Ti-4200. I connected all the items to the MOBO and did what it said in quick set up, but when I turn the computer on it doesnt even do a P.O.S.T, no bios beeps nothing, all the fans come on but nothing else no monitor response nothing.

I just wondered if someone could help me!!!

THANK YOU

A common issue.

The motherboard was shipped with the CMOS clear jumpered to "clear" and it won't boot.

Another motherboard had a documentation error and the HD LED was connected (in the manual) to the RESET connection. Again, no boot.

Think over what you would do in each case.
