HELP!!!!! KT7 and IDE problem

[maxedoutcc]

okay heres the deal, I have an Abit KT7 MB with a duron 700 with 256 of ram, 20 gig WD hd and Riva TNT2 32meg AGP card. I cant get this thing to post. I can turn the system on, I get no video output. I cant heard the HD spin up with the IDE cables in. I have tried replacing the ide cable and the hd with a known working model and its not working. I get no beeps coming from the system. I have triple checked all the wires going into the system(for led's and switches) I have made sure the cpu fan is on the proper header. SO heres my dilema. I cant get any video output. I cant get the hd to spin up when its plugged into the mb. Does this mean I have a bad Mobo? anyone else got any known problems or things I can check?

thanks alot I reallllllyyy need this system up and running TODAY!!!

Have seen this before on different mbs. Could be anything from the 5volt of the ps being hosed to the bios being fried. You are not making it through post. Some things I have seen
cmos clear jumper in wrong pos
Bios flash gone bad
ps dieing
cpu not in correct
vid card popped out
usually memory or video errors will give beeps so I don't thinks thats it
more but suffering crs syndrome
HTH

hmm good point. everything seems to fire up on the mobo but I could be wrong. It is a completely new system though, ill try that and see what happens, any one else got some other suggestions?

Has it ever posted at all? My buddies comp posted once when he put it together, he fixed up the bios settings, then when it restarted he just got a blank screen. He had to shut off the power supply, not just unplug it. Then when he started it back up (w/ power supply back on and plugged in of course) it was fine. I don't know why this was, but it was the KT7.

In my overclocking experiments with my KT7-Raid, when I was seeing exactly how high it would go, I would always have to clear the CMOS after I got to a setting where it would not post. I do not remember what jumper it is you have to switch to clear it, but it's in the book. LMK if you do not have yours and I can look it up.

That's the first thing I would try.

Second thing, what type of power supply you got in that thing? That would probably be my next place to look towards, outside of not possibly having the CPU seated properly in the socket (I've done it once before).
