Take the cover off.
Reset your CMOS jumper.
Turn on.

Specs please. Tried resetting the CMOS? Unplug the power cable, let it sit for 10 mins, then replug power cable and try starting up. Is there a keystroke you can hit during POST so you can view any messages/errors?

Try the basics then....

remove the data cable from the Hard drive and CD rom and see if it goes past where you said it does.
 
well i just installed the D bracket and the LEDS tell me that its bios start up. and it just wont go past it. it stays there.

Try what I said........
 
Remove and reseat the following:


Video card
Memory


Are there any other cards in the PCI slots? If so remove them as well.
 
You may want to try and upgrade the bios to the latest one if you can. Not sure what your exact model is of your mobo. What you gave me is too generic. Please look on the mobo and find out the exact model number. It is silk-screened or stickered somewhere.
 
how can i update it. reflash it? can u give me insturctions on it. cause teh ones MSI has are really inspecific. heres the number

MS 7185
Ver 1.0
K8N SLI
N1996
 
i have it on a floppy. but the thing is. when it starts up and it posts. it freezes at AMD and u cant get out of it or move around. its frozen there.
 
Wait,

before you flash it....have you tried it with one stick of ram instead of both?
 
yup. and i dont think i can flash it?? i dunno how i can get it to boot up on floppy if it cant get past this part
 
um yea. it was my ipod. fucking 3 hours. and i unpluged my ipod USB and it booted right up. GAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
