Hey All.
I’m running out of options on what to do with this system I’m putting together so I figured I’d bounce it off the TR community and see if I overlooked anything.
I’m taking the Video Card, NIC, Floppy drive, HD and CD-ROM out of an oldsystem.
I’m upgrading those old parts into a new AMD Duron 1000mhz/200 fsb system that uses a brand new Tyan S2390B mobo, I also have a new 128meg/133mhz DIMM and a new Enlight Mid-Tower case with 300 watt PS.
After doing the routine of transfering the components, installing the new mobo, cpu, memory, etc. (all the time being cautious of static discharge) I connected everything up and finally went to power it on… Dead. No power at all. Not even the CPU fan goes on.
First to point out – this isn’t the first system I put together.
Second, if you aren’t familiar with this mobo, there are very few jumpers on it. In fact the only main jumpers are J19 and J26 which set the FSB to either 200 or 266. My Duron is 200, so I made sure it was set accordingly.
The old components, mentioned above, are verified to work – the only reason for the transfer was to get a faster CPU and a more modern motherboard.
All connections where verified.
I didn’t do process of elimination yet (ie. strip down to basic components then try power on) and I probably should of done that first before posting..
Considering the case, motherboard, powersupply and CPU are all BRAND NEW (literally got them yesterday)…I guess I don’t want to believe its a faulty PS yet…
Anything strike you that I should do or check?
I’m trying not to replace the PS..but I guess it may come to that.
Thanks in advance.
