ok, I thought this was going to be easy.... i originally had a PC that I had from my old job, pretty old, 1ghz duron, yadda yadda, anyways, mobo crapped out on me in which i bought me the following: http://www.partspc.com/Recommend.asp?Qty=1&ProdID=13884&imageField3.x=107&imageField3.y=10 Biostar K8M800MAM2 Motherboard AMD Athlon64 3200+ Socket AM2 Processor w/ 512 DDR PC5400 667Mhz DDR2 anyways, so I took out the old mobo, inserted the new one, booted it up, everything on the tower's LED's light up along with my DVD burner, floppy drive, and media card reader. I thought it was the jumpers from the tower, but everything is correct. The processor fan is moving, no sound though from my HD. The jumpers on the HD, DVD burner are correct, and same from the previous mobo. btw before you start dissing, I know i got a cheap mobo, I just us my PC for browsing, watch por... ummm youtube videos and thats it. Not a gamer, so dont care about the $200 video cards, i stick to console. So yea, thats that. If anybody can help, appreciate it in advance.
did you install your internal speaker? If so? Hear any beep? If you installed the speaker and there's no beep coming from it, more than likely you got a bad motherboard. If you hear any beep, report back and we'll go further...but I'm betting on the bad mobo.
From a glance, it could be the power supply. If it's the same one that I have from EV1, it's only 300w. May need to update that too...Probably would be good with going with a 450 or 500, incase you plan on adding any drives or anything to it.
Thats why I don't build machines anymore and wait for dell to offer computers with lcd monitors for $350 bucks.
Can you at least put the HD back in the old box and see if it spins up? Also, I would take everything apart and put it back together. Start from scratch. It's possible that one thing isn't making connection and this is the least stressful way to test it.
