Ok, I'm building a PC for a family friend and have run into a problem. I power it on and I have a power light, the HDD spins up, the cpu fan spins, and a light on the GFX card comes on...and thats it. No power to the DVD-rw, no "beep", the monitor stays on standby.
I try to eliminate problems, take out each memory stick in turn, nothing
Switch the GFX card to one that I know works, nothing.
Disconnect the DVD drive and IDE, nothing.
Then tried the power on the DVD drive but no IDE and I get power to the drive.... :lol:
I have a feeling that the mobo is retarded but haven't got one that I can replace it with to test.
Spec as follows.
3.2ghz P4 1mb cache 800fsb.
Gigabyte P4 titan series (GA-8IPE1000-G) mobo
2x 512mb ddr 3200 unbuffered
radeon 9550
maxtor diamondmax10 300gb 16mb cache sata hdd
panasonic dvd-rw
Suggestions anyone???
