I got a barebones shuttle PC kit, and put it together last night. I put everything in step by step, thermal compound on the CPU, the whole 9 yards.
After it was all put together, though, I fired it up, and nothing happens. The powerlight goes on, the fans spin, but no BIOS screen, no nothing. THe light on the monitor stays lit green, but no image. The light on the cd-rom stays green as well, as if it’s being scanned during startup, but the light never goes off.
Did I botch the CPU install? How can you dell if you damaged the processor. Are they incredibly delicate? I’m no bull in a china closet, but I’m no surgeon either.
Help me Tech Republic, you’re my only hope!
