I'm not very technical with the hardware but I thought I'd try adding a 2nd storage device to store my photos, etc. After adding the device with the correct setup based on the instructions, I restarted the computer. But during startup, there were few beeping noises and the monitor would not show anything. I figured I must have done something wrong so read the manual over and over tried different things. I finally gave up and decided to remove the 2nd storage device to keep the computer the way it was. But now, the monitor is still blank.
When I start the computer, everything seems to be humming. Boot drive, fan, chip, etc. I thought maybe it's the video card but it works in another computer and I tried putting another video card in, still nothing. Some message threads in the forum mentions reset BIOs CMO, etc. If this is the right approach, how do I do that?
I have an AMD Athlon Chaintech motherboard 7SID SiS735 based computer custom built by a friend.
Can anyone help as to how I should troubleshoot this? :darth:
