Just put this system together last night. all the drives (cd /HDD's) are from a previous computer but the mobo cpu and ram (kingston 333mhz 256mb) are new.
Entire system contents:
300w power supply (mitsumi "i think" came with case 4years ago)
asus a7v400 (onboard sound/vid/network)
AMD sempron 2400+ 1.67ghz (retail w/fan)
kingston 333mhz 256mb pc3200
no add in pci or agp
2 x 20GB HDD
2 x cd (one burner)
and floppy
the problem:
after installing everything I turned the computer on it turns on then off, and back on as others on this board have mentioned to be normal for this board, but then the it starts to post but doesnt even get past the "splash asus a7v400 screen" then it just hangs indefinetly! :suspiciou
on the "splash screen" it shows press tab to show post, and press alt+F2 to flash bios.. but niether gives any response... Ctrl Alt Del does reset the comp only to bring me back to the same spot... a little frustrated... thinking possible power supply unit, or even processor?
It does beep once (short) and then stops. and I've tried the FSB jumpers set to 133 and 100 mhz. both with the same result, I even tried clearing the CMOS with no change (not a big suprise since its never been used )
please help.
THANK YOU
