PS/2 mouse & keyboard.
Upon power up case fans run, Video card fan runs. CPU heatsink becomes warm.
But no bios post, no beeps, no disk activity. Have checked my connections again and again.
Have tried:
-two different power supplies 300W, 500W (brand new)
-two CPU's (XP2800+, XP2400+)
-three different video cards, 2 PCI, One brand new AGP
-three different memory sticks, alone or in combos, in all possible DIMM slots
-removing all connections exc. video, K/B, mouse
-removing all memory (no beep codes result)
-cleared CMOS, removing battery for 3 mins in process
-removed board from case to check for case shorts - no change
-RMA'ing board from TigerDirect - replacement board exhibits same behavior and the one I returned.
At this stage all I can think of is that both my CPU's decided to die at the same moment. Seems very unlikely and unfortunately I dont have another compatible system to try them in at the moment.
Any ideas?
