for a friend of mine who only had money to buy some components.
I have it all together, new ASUS motherboard, new AMD AM2+ 2.1 Ghz processor, 4 Gb of memory and the such.
I power it on and I get No Video and No Beeps to say something is wrong.
Ok...it's been over 10 years since I have built a computer from parts.
What could be wrong if I have no video at all....no even with the bios startup.
Does the motherboard need to be isolated from the chassis?
I have double and triple checked all connections and it all looks good.
SATA 1TB drive, and Samsung CD/DVD-RW drive (also SATA)
I pulled the processor tonight and there aren't any bent pins that I could find.
Any advice?
