I've spent all day trying to get an additional machine running, and it's not going well to say the least. First off, the hardware:
Shuttle AK11
Duron 1Ghz
128MB PC133 SpecTek RAM
Visiontek Geforce 2 GTS-V
Alpha PEP66
Antec 250W PSU
When I first hooked everything up, it wouldn't post. Fans spun up, LED's lighted up, but no video, no beep codes. I swapped out the video card first with a spare TNT, same thing. Then I tried a regular Geforce 2 GTS, same thing. Just to make sure, I tested the GTS-V in another machine, and it didn't work, no video. So it seems like the motherboard AND the video card are dead, right?
Well, at that point, I decided to take out the Duron and test it in another machine. The Duron doesn't work in the other machine (an Epox 8k7a). I take a spare Athlon, put it in the Shuttle AK11, with at this point the TNT, and it POSTS! So at this point, I think something might actually be going well, so I swap the TNT for the GTS-V and it POSTS again!
I decide, even though it seems like the Duron is dead (much like the rest of the components at one point), to try it again in the Shuttle, and by goly it worked! So now it looks like absolutely nothing is dead.
Buuuut, my success is shortlived. I go into the BIOS, change the date and disable integrated sound, save the BIOS, and when it tries to restart, NO POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The same problem that I had in the beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH somebody help me! Please!! How the heck can I fix any of this????
UPDATE: I just realized there was one component I didn't swap out, the RAM. So I just swapped the 128MB DIMM with a 256MB Crucial DIMM, same no-POST crap. Help please!!!
