Well, I got my new CPU and PSU, and put it all together dah dah. Well, now it turns on, fans spin, HDDs whirl, but all I get is a black screen. Im very vexed by this... any help would be appreciated.

AMD Athlon XP 1700+
MSI K7T Turbo 2
512 MB PC-133
Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti 500

Ive tried it with the bare minimum to no avail...

Messed with it alittle... found that the heatsink is getting warm at the bottom, so the CPU is getting power I guess... coul it be a fried motherboard? Id be kinda happy if it was because then I know what to replace and I can get the same one I have locally for cheap

Try removeing either ram or vid card and booting.
Do you get the correct bios beeps for a bad part.
Try other way around.

Is the Aux connector attached to the mobo ?

Luck........

Well, I think ive tried just about everything... so I think that it may be the motherboard, since Im still not getting any beeps or andthing on the monitor. The whole story behind this btw is that I came home from work one day and my computer was off, and wouldnt turn back on, so I tested the PSU. It was fried. And then recently before I got the computer working again I noticed one of the fans had a melted positive wire. so Im thinking that my PSU took the motherboard with it when it died.

I got a faulty MSI board once, it did relativly the same thing. But it liked to fry CPUs. For some reason, I could never get it to work unless I used a specific Cooler Master fan. Needless to say, I fried 4 $80 CPUs in the process. Never a good thing. Anyway, I'm never buying anything from MSI again.
