I have just replaced a motherboard and processor and am having a strange problem. The system is now as follows:
ASUS A7S266-VM
Duron 1200MHz
192Mb SDRAM
I have installed the above items but am having slight problems with it. The operating system is Win 98. When I switch off the computer throught "Start" and "turn off computer" the machine powers down OK except the keyboard still has power, the cd-writer light stays on but dimly and the HD light is on but dimly. Although the cd-writer light shows power the cd will not do anything else. The LED on the mother board also stays lit.
When I come to power up there is no response from the machine. If I disconnect the power to the computer and reconnect and then hit the power switch it powers up.
The light on the cd -writer goes off and the other lights act normally.
I have checked all the connections and the bios settings and all are set as default.
I have tried changing the psu but with no improvement.
Have you any suggestions as to the cause of the problem, I am at a loss.
Thanx in advance
