supershanks Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 use the power switch on the mobo There's a reset switch & power switch on the edge of the board (pci end) between the bios chip & edge of board. you can just make them out here:- Power Switch Top right of mobo 2 right of bios chip - just above sharp's blue highlight.

wevsspot Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Sorry team, had to make the hour long commute from my office back to home. Awhir, I know it seems like a ton of trouble to gut the system at this point, but it's a perfect example of why we always recommend following the build guide. There's nothing worse than getting a ton of gear into your case, cleaning up the wires, tying everything down, press the power button and . . . . . Crap, the damn thing ain't booting. If you wanna save yourself a ton of time, on future builds, always build outside the case with minimal hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supershanks Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 something in the bios had been set to high & bios has been set back to default. go into bios & load optimised defaults - save & exit. Boot devices have been changed means that a drive that was there previously with abit of luck you night boot off your sata. luck .

supershanks Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Hope u plugged the keyboard in with the power off. Ps2 are not hot pluggable like usb. otherwise check that the ps2 connection is good (i've plugged it into mouse socket b4 now ) no reason why it shouldn't work now.
