Upgrade woes....:)

Hola folks. I just bought a new motherboard and CPU and BOX to put it all in.

MB is a Micro ATX with nvidia nforce2 chipset 333 mhz max. Has built in Gforce4 MX dual AGP plugs. The CPU is Athlon XP 2600. I have 1 stick of 512Meg DDR 333 RAM in it.

My problem is when I hit the power switch, everything turns on (LED's, Fans, Hard Drive, Disk Drive), but the monitor does not turn on. I can't manualy turn it on. It just has the blinking green light like it is in standby mode or something. Like it is not getting power. I tried using the onboard Video plugs and I tried using My other Geforce2 card and neither one does anything.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks!:D

Any beepin' going on at start up ?

Like:
beeeeeeep beepbeep beep
or
beep beeeeeeeeeep beep
or just plain beep.????

Yah, I got the Video working. I unplugged everything and started over now I get Video. Problem is now I get it asking to press F1 to continue or press DEL to run Setup. If i press F1 it gets so far then reboots. If I press DEL it takes me to the BIOS settings.

Any Idea what to do next?

Getting 1 beep when it starts up.

Thanks!:D

The one beep is good...any more is not good...

Not sure what O/S you are running.If its M$....have you tried to boot in safe mode, or does the bios even hand it over to the O/S??

Remember, Windows XP down't like very many hardware changes, and what you have done is quite a lot. If you are running Windows XP, you may need to reactivate your copy of Windows XP.

yeah, bill's going to give you a hard time on this one.
