hi,
just joined the forum. hoping someone can help me. i see alot of threads with PCs that have trouble powering up. but mine doesn't at all. i just put it together last nite. here are the specs:
amd 64 3000 cpu
asus k8n-e deluxe mobo
zalman cnps 7000-cu cpu fan
160gb WD hdd
nec dvd-rw drive
256mb pc2700 ram (will be upgrading soon)
i followed the mobo manual as closely as i could, but there was a discrepancy with the power LED, which prolly doesnt have to do with the PC powering up. when i push the power button, the Stand-by LED on the mobo turns on, but nothing else does. sometimes the fan will jerk a little, but no rotation. also sometimes the power LED will flicker for a split second. there is no beeping. i'm assuming it's the psu that came with my Rosewill case, but i wanted to know if anyone had any other ideas. it came with a 450w psu, but it's suspect since the whole deal was pretty cheap. could it be the lack of ram? or could it be that my ram is bad?
appreciate any help.
