Pcchips Motherboard NOTHINGNESS!!!!

[rudgej]

I have a PCCHIPS M726 and a celeron cpu, I have now had three motherboards and they all do the same that is not work. I have an AT power supply and the board is AT compatible. It connected to the power supply the motherborad has power, there are no bleep and yes everything is set up correctly, I am not some novice user! And all I get is a blank screen, I am suspitious of a row of jumpers not listed in the manual, I borrowed someones jumperless version and this worked fine. Is it somthing to do with the board swithcing between AT/ATX? I don't know the company has replaced the board three times. Can anybody help?

Ah, PCChips. The wonder of wonders I tell you. Anyway, I'm surprised to hear that the company themselves (if this is correct) actually replaced the board. I'm more astounded by the fact that they did it 3 times. I guess I'm most surprised at the fact of you getting to even get ahold of them. They're not the greatest when it comes to customer service in my experience. But enough rambling on (and I'm not flaming your board either, just the company themselves). If you've actually gotten ahold of them, ask them what that jumper does!! As far as I know, at least with the board I used to have, there wasn't a jumper to set the power. It just kinda "happened" depending on the power you plugged in. Sorry to be of little help, but it's better than none.

This company seems to have a problem with thight sockets for the memory. Try reinstalling the memory and make sure it is fully seated. I have had this problem and everytime it has been that the memory wasn't set in the socket right.

Good Luck,
