Shuttle trouble
Hello folks,
I assembled my Shuttle SN95G5 with my own hardware. (AMD 3000+ 64bit, WD 80gb SATA, Crucial 512mb RAM, NVidia 128mb 5200FX, 19inch Dell Flatscreen moniter) All the components seem to be in properly, although when I go to boot for the first time the moniter remains idle while the CPU fans and everything start up. If anyone has any suggestions or possible causes, it would be much appreciated. By the way, the video card and moniter are in fine working condition. Thank you. |

Sounds like a video card problem. Make sure it is seated correctly, if it has an extra power connector make sure that's connected as well.

Well I even tried my older Geforce 32mb video card and the same problem persisted. The video card im using now just has one wire coming off of it.. and it connects to itself, it's for the fan.

What Power Supply do you have in there? Also, if the Motherboard comes with onboard video, it is probably displaying through the onboard video connector, and you will have to install Windows using the onboard video, and then disable it and install the drivers for your video card.

Im using the same PSU that came with the Shuttle SN95G5, 240watts. And this system doesn't have onboard video, the only video card in it is my NVidia 128mb 5200FX 8x card. Any suggestions?

Follow the troubleshooting steps outlined here and let us know what happens. You must remove the motherboard from the case when doing this...you're trying to determine if the motherboard is shorting/grounding out to the case.

If the system doesn't turn on with just the core components assembled, then you either have a compatibility issue or a defective component.
Make sure the parts are compatible with each other. Start swapping in known good components until you find the problem. Cricket

A friend of mine who is pretty computer-sauvy says it is probably the processor, could this be the truth?

When the computer is running, is it just in a vegetative state (alive but not kicking), or is it actually booting?
Doublecheck the connections from the PSU to the motherboard. You need the 20/24-pin power plug, AND a 4 pin (2x2 block), which plugs into a slot near the CPU fan. |

Im not quite sure if it is actually booting or just in a "vegetative state". I hear the fans turn on and such.. I know its not the RAM or Video card either because I've been swapping them from my other computer, which works fine with both components.

I guess it has to be the processor because I've checked the motherboard manual to make sure the components are compatible and the only core components that I haven't used in another system are the processor and the harddrive, both of which were brand new when I first began assembling the Shuttle.

Start it up and let it run for 5 minutes. Then feel the CPU heatsink. If it's warm, the processor is fine.
