okay i have a

nf7-s
barton 333 2800+
1 512 stick of pc2700
radeon 9800xt 256 mb
350 watt psu
envision lcd

any conflicts you guys can see?? it wont boot and i have tried EVERYTHING i can think of, a pci vid card, dif ram, etc.

help??
 
Was it working before and just quit?

Is this a system that you're assembling?

If so, check the obvious, such as make sure all power connectors are proper, make sure the switch is connected properly, make sure everything is seated properly, make sure the Mobo isnt touching the case etc.

Do the fans spin then shut off?

Is it dead as a door nail?

Any beeps?
 
fans normal, tried dif vid cards and dif ram, cpu should be golden, its a new system

no beeping but speaker is connect correctly

leds on mobo show normal
 
...pull everything; all dirves - floppy, HD's, and opticals, expansion cards, etc. Clear the CMOS. Go for a boot. Do you get the BIOS "splash" screen....?? If yes, add one drive subsystem at a time to find the boot culpret. If not....you have some more fundamental work to do.

Good Luck - B.B.S.
 
nonono im at the core - cpu ram and video card on the mobo period. plus psu of course.

no bios and no beeps, but LEDs on the mobo indicate all is good lol wtf?

i looked on abit forums and it seems abit products don't work with generic psu's, so i guess i have to wait until my antec comes in tomorrow or weds. i was just trying to test the parts with a spare psu in the mean time but I guess no go. grrrr i just hope that's all the problem amounts to.

thanks, ill update you guys when i get the psu lol
