I have a box I just transferred all working hardware to from a working
computer that will now not post
Does have no OS as tossed an old 20gig and installed a new Seagate
160gig in its place.
Was in a box that an 24/7 for about 5 years without a feakin' hiccup
and moved those hardware items to a new shorter case to fit under a
desk. That and the small 20gig was the reason I did this.
The CD writer light and power light on the case comes on but no option
to get to BIOS. Could this brand new PSU be bad? MAybe I am missing
some simple thing someone could point out. I have put about 20
computers together but may have missed or forgot something. It is
driving me nutty and I wanted it up and out of my way before my wife
came back from a biz trip.
I do have an almost identical box I retired with same m-board that was
working fine but does have an OS but is Win 98SE. I was thinking of
throwing the 160 in that one to see what I get.
This is a computer my Wife uses for her online class and summer break
is almost over and she is starting to look at me sideways. If I don't
get this thing going, I might be going. Kidding!
Anyway it is a SOYO board
P-III 1ghz
Mushkin 512mb
Seagate 160
Plextor 708 DVD
2 Maxtor 20gig as slaves
SB-Live
Antec 400 Watt 2.0 PSU
I could probably and might post this to a different hardware group but
I happen to like this one. It is so, well I just can't put my finger
on it. Maybe so many interesting knowledgeable types here.
Regards,
Roscoe aka MrShade
Are the newer Antec 2.0 PSU's creating an issue perhaps? Old was an
Enermax 350 watt PSU. Just a thought. old has 20 pin, new has 24 pin
with option of removing the 4 uneeded part.

I will try it that way although I had removed everything but the
video card. It di sit for about a month before I started putting it
back together but ran fine before swapping cases.
All 4 green lights are on on the board.
Would I get no display if one of the pins was reversed? What about
cmos battery?
Thanks for your reply before

Yeah, I did cross post to another group I use at times.
Anyway, it is now up and XP Pro is installing as I type this. I
reseated everything for the 10th time and swapped keyboards.
I can't be certain what the issue was exactly.
It is the first time I had that particular issue in all the boxes I
have put together.so I was in the dark literally. I had tried most
everything I could think of and then resorted to asking for some help.
Thanks again for your helpful replies and time.
Regards,
RP
