My old cpu melted off the mobo due to heat and continuous usage
where I live.
I purchased a new case with a PSU, new FIC KT-748 mobo,
and want to use a used Athlon 1.2 cpu.
FIC will not respond to support email and their support # is always busy.
I think I connected the front panel switches properly because
the system does respond when I press the Power switch.
So I have a new mobo, PSU, and case; used RAM and cpu.
The cpu came off a HP that had a damaged mobo, so I thought
the cpu may still be good. The RAM came out of my old melted
system (I also have another stick in case).
When I press the power switch, the case fans, psu fan, and the
cpu fan are working. I just get nothing on the screen, not even BIOS.
I reset the CMOS. I get no beeps after letting this run a few minutes.
I'm starting to think the cpu has gone bad, but I 'm not sure.
If I need to, I can buy another cpu easily.
Thanks in advance for your response......
