Hello,
today I put together a basic system with the following parts:
1) LC 400W PSU;
2) ASRock K7S41GX motherboard;
3) AMD Sempron 2200+ BOX;
4) 1*256MB Samsung DDR400 single sided;
There are other components but I haven't even plugged them in yet (read on). I assembled these parts out of a case on top of the motherboard box, adding POWER and SPEAKER connectors to it.
Anyway, added monitor, keyboard and powered on. CPU fan spins but there's no video signal, no beep.
Tried an AGP video card (Gecube Radeon 9250) and a Seventeam ST-350BKV PSU. Same thing.
So, still have the memory, CPU and motherboard to test. Tried a different stick (Samsung DDR400 512MB double-sided), same. Then I removed it expecting to get a beep for "no memory", but still nothing.
With my motherboard, CPU and PSU only I get no beeps at all when booting the motherboard. Does this indicate that I have a dead motherboard that I should send back for replacement? Could it be the CPU?
These are the only two components that I could not test with other parts.
Like I said, no matter what I do the CPU fan spins but I get no video signal or beep from the motherboard.
I have cleared CMOS. I tried FSB jumpers settings at FSB200 and FSB333 (the correct for this Sempron processor).
Thanks everyone.
