Please help with build problem!
Hey everyone I have a problem with my new build. I'm trying my hand at building an Intel system for my brother's birthday, since I already built 2 AMD systems. This is the first time this has happened. At first I had everything installed and tried to boot the system but it wouldn't boot up at all until I cleared the Cmos jumpers (normal=pins 1&2 Clear Cmos=pins 2&3) then it'll boot up. as soon as it boots I don't get any video at all, nor any beeps, but the fans are on and the case lights come on as well. Anyones help would be much appreciated. Oh yeah the specs:
Mobo: ECS l4vxa2 Ram: 2x256 crucials pc3200 Processor: Intel Celeron D 2.13 Harddrive: 40 gb maxtor Optical Drive: Artec internal dvd/cd-rw combo drive Video Card: xfx geforce fx 5200 |

Did you try for post with the parts out of the case yet?
Did you plug in the extra 4 pin 12v power connector to the motherboard? What brand power supply are you using? One possibility is the ECS motherboard could be DOA.  Cricket

It only starts up if the CLEAR CMOS jumper is set to CLEAR? You got a bad motherboard, time to RMA it.
