Boot up


Apocalyps3

Recommended Posts

Ok here the deal... I have a Abit KR-7A Raid with AthlonXP 1700 and a MCX-462 Heatsink, GeForce 2 TI 200, now all thats great but I only have a 230V Power supply now I know I need a new one but my friend says that even with that power supply something should happen when i turn it on or something should come up on screen but nothing does, is this a problem or is he wrong.

something shoule come up, try it with just the vidoe, one stick ram and no hard drives or floppys. If nothing comes up somthing is wrong. Odds are its the cpu, weather it got to hut, crushed or is faulty, could also be the video card or a miss placed jumper

be sure the power-good-cable (from the power button) is connected to your mobo

be sure pc-speaker is connected (more than one beep or no beep = real problems)

try even without ram

try even without gfx-card (should beep)

 

if everything fails the fan inside your psu must work - if that doesn't work either you haven't connected your power-button to your mobo, your mobo to your power-supply or one of these is screwed up :(
