Hi,
I've installed my Intel Q6600 in the ASRock Penryn 1600SLI/110dB motherboard, connected the connectors, installed some memory, added a harddisk and installed the ASUS EAD3650 graphics controller. But when I startup the machine nothing happens. The fan blows and I can hear the harddisk spinning but nothing else. The monitor I connected to the graphics card stays black, not even showing a sign that a signal is received. As far as I can tell, all connectors are connected the correct way and even when I disconnect/remove all but power and power switch, I still only get running fans. The fact hat the fan runs suggests to me that the power is installed in the correct way. I am puzzled by the fact that nothing is shown on the screen nor any beep is produced by the motherboard.
I'm starting to suspect the processor is a DOA but that is difficult to imagine. Any suggestions?
