So after putting together my first computer, I ran into a problem.
I put everything in and turned on the computer. The processor and motherboard fan start up and the LED on my case turns on, but I don't get any video. I used the video card from my old system, a PCI Radeon 9250. I tried all 3 different slots. My monitor works, the card works because I just took it out of my last system. Also, the CD drive won't respond with the IDE cable plugged into it. If I take the IDE cable out, and leave the power cable in, it works. Put the IDE cable back in, and it doesn.t Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? A bad motherboard? Something not connected right? Thanks in advance for any help.
Here's the specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ S939 processor
WD Caviar SATA 80GB Hard Drive
XCLIO ATX 450W PSU
Chaintech VNF4/ULTRA
512 MB Crucial ram (DDR 266)
Rosewill value case
