athlon xp1900+
32/12/48 Lite-On Burner
16/48 Sony DVD-Rom
alpha pal 8045 w/ ys tech 48cfm fan
chieftech case w/ 6 cooling fans (panaflo L1A's)
400w Enermax PSU
MSI Geforce3 Ti200
IWill xp333
2x OCZ 256mb DDR PC2700 w/ heatspreaders
40gb Maxtor 7200rpm ATA/133
no lan card installed yet
no sound card installed, going to use the onbaord 5.1 sound
I am going to say its the motherboard. Here is what happened. I put it all together, and i know it is booting to at least the IDE detection screen because when i hit the power switch, it wont power down immediately. i have to hold it for 4 seconds, so i know it is at least getting past the initial bios detection. I know the video card works because i tested it in another system. I know the processor and ram works because i tested those in another system also. I know the hard drive works because i had it before. I have not connected either of the cd-roms yet because i put in all the basic components. so im left to think its the motherboard...does that sound right?
if it is the motherboard...i got it from newegg...how do i get an RMA on the board?
