I posted this here because this is the system many of you have and I thought someone might have a similar problem.
I am building a second computer. I have a problem. I installed the motherboard and hooked up the wires (hhd led, power, reset .....) I plugged in the duron processor. I also hooked up the video card(v5), hard drive and cd rom. When I start up the computer the green light in the front. I can also see the red light for the hard drive. But in the monitor there is no signal. Also I can not turn the computer off. To shut it down I have to pull the power. What could be the possible problems? I think the wires are hooked up correctly. I know the video card works. I am using munshin pc 133 athlon tested ram. The power supply is approved. I have another processor and I tried it. I also tried another video card, but I know the voodoo 5 works. It came from my other computer. Please help me this is very frustrating and I can not figure where I went wrong. Could it be a bad abit kt7 motherboard? thanks very much
Someone has now suggested that I should have nylon washer on top and below the motherboard where the screw mounts it to the case. They said it could be shorting the motherboard. Is this possible? Thanks
