Help!!!

[damo]

Hi all,

I spent a week last month building myself a new pc - no problems at all. I used just the dvd + dvdrw and floppy drives from my old PC and updated the rest.

I thought I would re-build my old PC for my bro for xmas using the remaining parts of my old system.

So...

I have installed my old ASUS A7A266 MB (with athlon xp 1900 and fan previously installed) in to a new case with 350w psu, installed 512md DDR ram in the correct slot and corrected jumper setting (a7a266 runs both sd and ddr ram) and installed my old blaster Ti4200 in the AGP and connected monitor.

Have booted up from here and all power lights are on, case fans run, gfx fan runs, cpu fan runs - but no beeps our output though to the monitor.

I have tinkered around - removed mb and re-installed - chanded from ddr to sd ram, removed and replace gfx card... I am thinking that the GFX may be knackered?

Any ideas? (I have reset the CMOS several times also!)

I despretley need to resolve before xmas - I just need to find out what the fault is..

Thank you in advance!!!

Try this troubleshooter. You must remove the motherboard from the case to do this. You're trying to determine if the motherboard is shorting out to the case. Make sure that the stand offs are all lining up with the mounting holes in the motherboard. If any don't, remove it.

ok,

have tested out of the case on the mb box with a second psu - same result.

Have tested both ram and gfx in a different comp - can only assume its a MB issue in the AGP slot / GFX card connection?

The fan spinning on the gfx shows there is a power connection to the gfx card, but obviously no output as it works fine in another pc.

Any further ideas?

Try a different power supply.

have now tried 3 different power supplies all same result.

i am resigned to the fact that the AGP slot has gone and have ordered a socket a replacement from ebuyer - no xmas pressie for my bro!!

:-(
