Yesterday I got my new atc-210 case and pc power and cooling turbo cool 425 powersupply. So I transfered everything from my old case into the new one and put in the new powersupply and I added an old 20gb hard drive I found in my basement. So I try to turn on the computer and it turns on for a split second and then turns off. I kept trying to turn it on hoping it will finally turn on but it doesnt. So I call pc power and cooling and they say that it is the over voltage protection working so one of my components is messed up. So I remove the 20gb hard drive I put in. The computer turns on now but I get nothing on my monitor. So I remove my 9800 pro and put in my old geforce 4 mx card. Now my monitor is working but I realize that the computer is not booting...it shows the biostar symbol then goes to the part where it performs checks on the computer system and at the bottom says CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR...RESET TO DEFAULT SETTINGS and just stays on that screen.

I am not sure which component or components is/are messed up.

Please help me!!!!!!!!!
 
Anyone out there???

Did I explain my problem alright???

Any suggestions???
 
Take the motherboard out of the case and try. Did you maybe put an extra standoff or 2 in the case that isnt needed?
 
You need to clear the cmos.
Unplug the power supply from wall.
Move the cmos jumper over for about 10 secs to clear the cmos then move it back.
Plug the power supply back in.
It should now power up ok.

The 9800 pro may not have been properly seated in the AGP slot hence the lack of signal.

Luck............ :D

 
Aaron_ATX... I checked and I do not have extra stand offs

Tigerbiten... I unplugged ps and cleared cmos and checked if videocard was seated correctly. Still same problem.

I also replaced the battery still same thing.
