Hi all. I just swapped in a new mobo (Gigabite k7-Triton) for my fried Leadtek. This is the very first hardware project of this kind for me, so naturally I was very nervous, and tripple-checked all the settings and jumpers. When I hit the power button, I got an LED light in the front, a little light went on on the mobo itself, and the fans looked like they wanted to spin, but never did - they just twitched.
I rechecked all the jumpers at least 4 more times, rechecked all the wires/cables/add-in cards, etc., Tried the RAM in all the other slots -- still no good. Any ideas what I should do next - before I lug it to CompUsa to see if their techs can find the problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!
BTW, my rig is as follows:
AMD XP 2800+ Barton
ATI AIW Radeon 9700 pro 128
512 DDR 400 RAM (getting another stick as soon as the rig starts working again)
80 gig HD (adding another one as per above)
CD Burner
DVD player
