Great title, eh? Anyway...
I just built a new computer:
3000+ Venice
ASUS A8V K8T800PRO Mobo
1 GB Corsair PC3200
When the power button is pressed, the boths fans on the case, the fan on the PSU, and the fan on the CPU all come on and stay on (including the lights on the case fans), but I get no beep and I get no video.
There is one thing suspect about the case, though. It came with these little bumps where I would normally put the little gold risers to support the motherboard. The bumps were all the right height for the mobo to sit on and fit with the little cut-outs for the PS/2 slots and whatnot, and any use of risers as per usual would make the motherboard sit far too high to fit in the slots. I got the case second hand, and the bag of screws that it came with didn't come with the gold risers. So, not seeing any other choice, I didn't use any risers and the motherboard is sitting directly on those bumps. Perhaps this is the problem? I thought it would be alright, as there's about no additional contact with the case and the motherboard than would be there between the risers and the motherboard. Maybe I need to get some of those little washer things to put in between the bumps and the mobo? I don't really know anything about the case (this guy was gonna toss it so my mom brought it home to me and I don't really know the name/manufacturer or anything and can't find it on newegg) or I'd look up the use of the little bump thing in place of the risers. More information, as I can provide, if needed.
Thanks in advance!
