INSTALL HELL

[sachar]

Built a new system yesterday: a PIII 500Mhz on a ASUS P3F mobo, with a AGP Matrox card, soundblaster live, 64 MbRam, 6,4 HD, cd-rom.
So istalled everything. Jumper setting correct. when I turn on the power I hear my HD searching and all that. But I don't get a display or any beeps. Kinda weird. Anyone know what could be wrong?

ps. The powerconnectors and casespeaker. does the S stand for ground or 5 volt

The S stands for Soft power on.
Have you enabled the agp card in the Bios?

[sachar]

I can't even come in the Bios, because I have totally no display. Tried AGP and PCI both nothing. I don't understand, why I don't get any thing. Could the mobo be broke. Or is it a plug I didn't plugged in correct?

Two things to check - the CPU and memory to make sure they are in their slots all the way.

[sachar]

Yea pushed them in all the way. Double checked it doesn't seem too be the prob. But I'll check again *S*
After then it's going too learn how too fly and it's back to my old C64 which never give me any prob *lol*

[awwall]

Try unplugging everything except the following:

CPU
SDRAM
Video Card

remove all other boards and un-plug the hardrive.

If you then get post, try plugging things back in one at a time.

aw

It was the CPU who wasn't seated right, **** I feel like a idiot. *S*
