I've tried all the suggestions from the troubleshooting post, but we've already tried all those, and the computer still won't start.
My husband built a PC - like he's done several times before - but this time it won't work.
System:
AMD 2000+
512 MB RAM Kingston
K7S5A Elite motherboard
HD 30 GB
Nvidia 61 MB videocard
New case and powersupply
When the PC is turned on, the harddrive spins, all lights go on (and stay one), CPU cooler turns.
It doesn't go beyond that point. Nothing in screen, no BIOS accessible.
We've tried several memory sticks, replaced video card, cleared the CMOS, checked all the wiring several times.
Even the basic setup doesn't work. The motherboard is brand new, and with another motherboard it doesn't work either.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
