Hi,
I'm having a problem with a computer I was building with some spare parts sitting around:
Tyan S1598C2 motherboard
AMD K6-III/450
128MB PC100 SDRAM
ATA66 13GB HD
Floppy Drive
different video cards
The problem is that when I turn the computer on, the cpu fan starts going, but I don't get any video, and it doesn't look like the drives power up. I get no beeps. I tried several different video cards: ATI Xpert 98 (PCI), Matrox Millennium G200 (AGP), and another AGP card. No difference for boot up. The case worked fine with a different motherboard. The drives worked fine with a different motherboard.
I have thin nylon washers installed between the board and the case (I've heard mixed feedback about whether these are needed).
Thanks,
Mentallo
