I just put together a new computer looking like this:
- AMD XP2500+ Barton CPU
- Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard
- Chieftec Scorpio miditower case w/360W PSU
- Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis Fireblade ed.
- Corsair TWINX512 PC2700LL RAM
- GlacialTech Igloo Silent Breeze
Plus, of course, a few HDDs a DVD+/-RW drive, etc.
The problem is, when I turn it on, it shuts down again after 5 or 6 seconds. All fans start, the HDDs start spinning, but nothing shows up on the monitor and then it shuts down.
I have tried:
- Removing all drives
- Removing the graphics card
- Removing the RAM sticks
- Connecting a speaker to check for any messages, but it's nothing but silence there
- Resetting the BIOS
- Connecting a faster fan to the CPU fan header on the motherboard, as the Silent Breeze spins at only 1200rpm
No matter what I try, it's always the same: It starts up, runs for a few seconds and shuts down. No beep in the speaker, nothing on the monitor.
Any suggestions? This is SO annoying...
