I’ve built 8 different custom computers for myself. I’m working on my ninth now, but still don’t know that much.
Anyway, my ninth is just refusing to work. I tried the setup one way, then realized I had another mother board so I switched the mother boards out and tried it that way. None of them worked! It’s driving me crazy.
They do absolutely nothing. The fans spin and if the harddrive is plugged in the harddrive light comes on, but nothing else happens. No beep codes. The screen never gets a signal.
Until I’d switched out the motherboard I’d assumed the Mother Board was bad, but now I’m wondering is the processor is bad. The Motherboards I used were:
“Abit LG-95Z Motherboard – Intel Socket 775, MicroAT”
and
“PCChips P17G Motherboard – V1.0, Intel 945GC, Socket 775, MicroATX”
The processor was a:
“Intel Pentium D 925 3Ghz DT 800FSB Socket 775”
I don’t know it just seems like the likelihood of having two bad motherboards is a lot lower than one bad processor. And it does absolutely nothing! Like I don’t know how this tends to work usually, I never really paid that much attention, but even the Caps Lock key won’t toggle on and off.
