I appreciate your advise but it seems the beep codes are saying a cont. beep means memory promblem. Well I took out the ram and turned it on and it still gave me the cont. beep and then shut down in about 2-3 sec. I also took out the floppy, HD, cd-rom and it still gave me the beep and shut down. Im going to try the CMOS reset and if that doesnt work take the sound card, then the ethernet and finally the vid card out and see if i get the cont beeps and shut down still. Ill keep you in formed. -XPerties

My a**...............Ive seen boot screens other places while surfing. Trying to be all cool and s***........HA! -XPerties

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you correctly connected the case's power switch to the "Power On" switch header (pins 8-9) on the PN1 header on the motherboard? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok well that is what I was doing wrong from the begaining. I was readyin PN1 from laft to right instead of right to left. But NOW I can get power. I turn it on it starts to run, fans going and everything but then a straight steady beep comes on and then the power shuts off. I powered it on and took out one thing at a time to see if the beep and power down would stop. First RAM, HD, CD-ROM, Floppy....still samething now. So Im going to try to clear the CMOS and see if that helps. Ill get back to you -XPerties

2 things...... 1. MAKE SURE YOU POST IN THE RIGHT SECTION! 2. USE THE EDIT BUTTON WHEN WANT TO ADD A COMMENT. -XPerties

[b:713d061fa1]Ok i posted this here for a few reason. #1 we dont have a straight "Hardware" only section. we only have XP related and this isnt XP related. #2 I need as much repsonce as possible and this gets the most being in here. #3 because I can, Im god! [/b:713d061fa1] ___________________________________________________________________ Ok i got second hand (was told it worked fine from a friend) a MB and a CPU. MB= KT7A-RAID Abit CPU= TBird 1400 Ok now everything else in there is brand new. I added the following. Antec Smart power supply 350wat 512 Ram Soundblaster (cheapy) card Video card (8mb) D-link ethernet Cd-rom Floppy 80gig Baracutta HD Now as far as i have ever know you have one main connection to the MB from the PS. Thats the main power clip you attach it to the motherboard. Now i have the power button on the motherboard coming from the front of the case. So in theory thats all I should need. Promblem is AMD boards are new to me, this is actually the first one. Anyways I push the button to turn the power on and nothin happens. NATA....ZIPPOOOO. Just sits there. Ok so I checked all the connections. Made sure nothin was loose and wiggle wires. I tried this well over 20 times. On a few trys the case fans got a short jolt and started to move but then just died. Now thinking it was a bad power supply I took it out plugged it into the wall and check it volts with a voltage regulater. I was getting plenty of juice. SO im looking at the motherboard now. Does nayone know of anything or anywhere I might not be hooking something up? Remember I have just the one main connection from the power supply to the MB connected. am i missing something? Oh yah I took the CPU out to make sure it wasnt thatand still got no boot up or MB screen. Nothin at all. Any suggestions -XPerties

Ok.... like, this isnt a BUG in XP.........a bug is something that has been confirmed to be a promblem with several peoples computers. This would just simply be a promblem your having. Moving thread. Next time think before you post...Thanks -XPerties

Yes thats 100% correct. I would say your on the ball. It wont read write if it had a power surge , which by turning it off and on like that causes it. I would have to say try the power supply, becuase when I have had to turn my PC off like that becuase I forgot to plug something or it locked up it would read my CPU as 500mhz and i have a 1gig. -XPerties

[b:9a2e5211fe]MSNwar[/b:9a2e5211fe] - if i catch you before you do this try to do this really quick and see if it helps. I had the same promblem but it was self inflicted. If you have 2 dimms pull them out and try to reseat them. Also try to swap slots. It worked for me becuase they were not seated right. -XPerties

Ive heard of a few having trouble, what they did was individuly pick the updates from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp? Its a pain but thats how they got around it -XPerties

OMG! Thats horrible. Do you know if there going to cont. with the site? -XPerties

(middle finger @ aMB)......OH dam doesnt work, bummer:rolleyes: -XPerties

Ive decided to step down and remove myself from statis on this board. I just wanted to say that alot of you are good friends and have alot of knowledge and its been fun. Good luck in the new year and take care of one another. Peace. -XPerties
