no boot

[Terry Daley]

what is with these stupid boxes!!!
my daughter brought her computer home from college with her for the holidays. worked fine when we set it up and plugged it in.
next morning, turn it on and nothing! american megatrend logo and numbers appear but the cursor just sits there blinking. no post, no beeps, no error msgs, nothing.
any help
or should i just pitch it out the second floor window!

Nah...no pitching out the window http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

No complete BIOS posting? Recheck all the connections for the CPU, RAM and cables.

i would if i could but it doesn't even boot with a floppy
it doesn't do any thing!

[Terry Daley]

every thing seems hooked up correctly and tight!
it appears that it is getting hung up very early in the POST somewhere
it doesn't do a ram check or anything

Keyboard problem maybe ?? unplug keyboard and see what happens.. just a thought...

[Terry Daley]

same thing which is nothing
i did remove the ram chips and got no video at all but did get a couple of beeps
i'm clueless

unplug everything but the power supply and mobo. boot it. if you hear the good beeps, then turn off and add 1 component, RAM, reboot, if all goes well, add video. keep going til the comp wont boot. There is your problem.
