Hello people. I picked up an Intel 865PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU, Model D865PERL (retail) from Newegg, and am using a P4 1.6ghz CPU, Crucial PC 3200 512mb DDRAM, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb (AGP), WD 80gb HD.
IT DOESN'T WORK!
I turn the computer on, and all LED's light up, hard disks spin, CD Drives spin... but I see NOTHING on the screen. No CMOS, no nothing.
I've tried numerous times to unplug and replug everything to no avail. It doesn't even work when I'm only have running the CPU/heatsink, RAM, motherboard, and Video Card. Nothing.
I've even inserted a P4 2.66ghz CPU in the motherboard, and different types of RAM, and another video... nothing works.
This is the second board I bought from Newegg: the first board (same model) had the same problem, so I sent it back to them. Is it possible I got 2 lemons from theM??? I highly doubt that, and i strongly believe there is a step missing from my installation.
I'm no newbie... the problem I am facing is just WIERD.
Please help... thanks in advance.
