ok, so i start my computer. the fans (in the psu, on the cpu and case fans) start, hdd spins up, cd drives are fine as well, but i get no video.
its a (mostly) new setup. JetWay JHA06 mobo (using onbord video), 2x1gig sticks of g.skill ddr2 800 ram, amd athlon 64x2 6000+ AM2 processor (all of that's the new part), and a hard and 2 cd drives from another computer (the drives were working just fine this morning). the mobo has a debug readout on it, but all that gives me is "FF", which the manual says translates into 'boot', but it never changes
i'm also working w/ a new 500w psu, but to be sure i swapped it with another one i had that i know works. no help there. i also tried poping in a pci video card i had around (radeon x1650), but still got nothing. also tried several configs with drives disconnected 1 at a time and 1 stick of ram at a time. cleared the BIOS between each. nothing i can think of helps...
also, isnt the mobo supposed to have some alarm when started w/out ram, because mine didnt do anything when i tried starting w/out any ram installed...
