Okay. So My PC is not working. It does not post when I start it up.
My system is:
3300+ processor
6600 GT
PC2700 DDR ram

I recently purchased a new processor and video card and powersupply.
AMD 144 Opteron
BFG Tech Nforce4 Ultra VNF4 Mobo

And it still does not post. Can anyone help me out? =/ Lost and Confused.
 
Anyone have any ideas about what is wrong? Computer has been down for more than a week.
 
bad mobo probably, try removing battery and resetting cosmos. If that doesn't work then RMA
 
might want to check your power supply as well who knows might be broken out of the box.
 
The fans spin so I don't think theres anything wrongw the power supply. I tried resetting the cmos.

Does anyone know how to find out if the processor is dead? or the mobo?
 
Just because your fans spin, that does not mean your PS is good. That's like saying the battery in your car isn't dead cause the radio still works...

Check your mem. Don't shake your head, check it. Pull out all but one stick, still won't post, pull that one out and put in the other. Make sure you using the correct slots on your MOBO for your mem type and capacity. Some MoBo's are really particular about that.

To test proc, get new proc, insert in MoBo if it POSTs, your proc is bad OR take your proc over to a friends house and try it in their system. You could also try to take it to someplace like FRY's where they are setup for testing proc's and mem with mulitple MoBo types available to them.
