The computer will not boot!!! The only things connected to the motherboard are...
The motherboard
ram
processor
psu
video card
floppy drive
network card
when i turn the power on the motherboard light comes on (red led). I switched out video cards and i still could not get anything to display on the screen. Is it a motherboard, processor, or something else problem???
Thanks
ram!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took out the stick of ram and turn it on and still not display. i also put it in another slot and still nothing.
it for sure won't boot with no ram.
it could be bad. i had one yeaterday, with rambus ram, it just quit booting all of a sudden. changed ram out, presto, werks now
I tried a working module and still no display. when i say no display i mean that the monitor led is orange.
try another video card
Like I stated in my first post...i have tried another video card and still no display
Well you've narrowed it down to the motherboard. Try removing the motherboard and placing it on a piece of cardboard to make absolutly sure it's not grounding itself to the case. Then hook up and try to boot. If it boots-it was grounding out. If it doesn't boot probably a bad board.
That's my 2 cents.
