Well we got the new motherboard in today and guess what...this time it doesn't even POST! Talk about a downer. Anyway, this time I tested to see if it would even recognize the fact that there was no RAM in the computer (ya know the beeps it gives) but it didn't even do that. I unplugged everything except the floppy and the only things I had in the mobo were a brand spankin new ATI PCI vid card and a 32MB stick of RAM.

First attempt without the RAM: no go. No beeps...no screen...no nothing.

Second attempt without the Vid card: no go. No beeps...no screen...no nothing.

Third attempt without floppy: Still absolutely nothing.

Now the computer does respond to the switch. The fans spin..the HDD would spin up (when I had it plugged in) but the POST tests would never occur and I couldn't even get a darn visual on the screen. Heck...the power LED didn't even worked no matter how many times I switched it (and yes it was plugged in correctly).

So...Im gonna try ANOTHER mobo now.The one I just tried was an Intel D815EPEA. This hopefully new functional one is an Asus.
Off I go
