Comp won't start!

Yeah it was a cpu issue, I took off the heat sink, cos im cool like that and tried it, the cpu immediately complained about the lack of its heatsink and shutdown. put heatsink back and it's all cured... Doesn't sound too healthy but it's happy for now :) It's a microatx board, no CPU power...

Okay, reset didn't work. I'm looking around and as far as I can tell, my Sempron pos should work with the motherboard, and the PSU is brand new and definitely works. Could it be a RAM issue?

There's normally a button r something to do that isn't there? I can't find how to reset the BIOS on this mobo, it's nicely user un-friendly.

Comp won't start!

Yeah the three bleeps was a ram error, now is a video out issue.. I am bothering with such crappy old parts because I'm having fun with the idea of an oil cooled computer... and I don't want to sink to much money into it.. unless it's successful, in which case I'l put a fair amount of cash...

Comp won't start!

I built a computer about 20 mins ago... in all respects it should work, new motherboard, trusted second hand ram and refurbed CPU, no gfx as of yet... The comp will turn on and start to boot. It stops after a few seconds and stays in a sort of dead state, not on but not off. Specs: AMD...

Pins for on/off switch on 291042-001

yeah i got that, its in bold lettering indicating the 17 or so pines beneath it are for the power button and various LEDs. I've ran a screwdriver down the middle, in fact I've run three 'drivers down the middle and no luck, I've checked with a multimeter and there are voltages so the board...
