I am trying to put together a Tbird/Duron system and I am having some trouble. Like the topic says I am using the Microstar Socket A board and it will not post. I have tried two different processors (Tbird 1 GHZ & Duron 700mhz). The Tbird was used with a copper spacer and an Alpha cooler and the Duron was attached to a Coolermaster AMD approved HSF. I have tried 2 different video cards (1 v6800 Pure DDR Asus GeForce AGP and a Matrox MGA PCI). I have also used 2 different sticks of RAM, both are approved by AMD.
I have tried powering up the system with just the core items needed to boot but no luck. The LED message is 4 RED lights, the little guide says this means System Power On (thats all it says, not really much help).
I sure hope I haven't burnt out 2 processors?
I am using an Enermax 350 watt Power Supply which is also approved by AMD.
I am assuming it is a bad board so I am going to see about replacing that. Any other possibilies? I've built many PCs so I don't think it's something stupid.
Thanks,
