Help!
I've just ordered a Foxconn SiS 755 MOBO and a Sempron 2600+ processor, and tried installing it in an existing system. After a pretty sound installation, I can't even get the BIOS to boot. I think I can hear the processor boot, but I still get no signal on the monitor. I tried a couple of old video cards to rule out a problem with the vid card, and still had no signal. The reviews on NEWGG said this mobo doesn't boot with a sempron 64 processor, but my processor's not a 64 bit one... I think.
So is it a a) fried processor or mobo? or b) video card problem? or something else I'm not aware of? |

Do you hear any beeps at all? Do the fans start turning? Have you followed all the steps in this thread: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=132409

it could bad ram, cpu, psu, or mobo. probably its a bad mobo,cuz more things can go wrong with a mobo than a, say ram module

No beeps, but the fans work.
And the old system was, well old... PII generation stuff. |

If you followed all the steps in the link I previously posted, and you still don't even get a beep, it's probably a bad motherboard. Foxconn isn't known for quality.
