Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

If you are getting one beep then the initial POST test is good.

 

Take all major connections and cards off the motherboard. ( RAM - NIC - Sound cards etc )

This includes power and data cables to hard drive and DVD drives.

Disconnect any external devices. ( Keyboard etc )

 

Leave only the 24 way connection from the PSU

Clean the contacts of the Video Card with a pencil eraser and put it back. ( assuming you have a card )

Connect up the monitor.

 

Switch on.

 

You should get stable graphics.

(The POST beeps will be more than one this time )

 

What is the situation now?

There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

Just confirm please:

With RAM / NIC / SOUND cards ....... plus Hard Drive / DVD Drive disconnected

Mouse and Keyboard and all external hardware disconnected.

and with only the 24 way connection attached ( plus the moniter )

 

you get 3 short beeps ( this is correct as there is no RAM )

 

Is this correct ?

 

You get nothing on the monitor after the initial splash screen.

 

Is this also correct when everything is removed from the m/board as described above ?

Your m/board has a PS2 option for the keyboard.

Do you have a PS2 keyboard to try ?

 

Or if you are using PS2 - try a USB keyboard.

 

I would like to check the Boot Order in the BIOS.

 

==============

 

Your m/board has an 8 pin ATX connection ( corner of the board )

Do you have this connected ?

 

==============

 

Did your m/board come with the CPU installed or did you fit it ?

If you fitted it - is the heatsink seated properly on a thin layer of thermal paste?

 

==============

 

Do you have a spare PSU to try ?

It doesn't matter if the Wattage is different.

Have tried 2 ps2 keyboards and 1 usb. could not get into BIOS.

 

 

The 8pin 12cATX is connected.

 

 

CPU heat sink came with thermal paste on it.

 

 

no other power supply.

 

 

think I am just going to have to return the MoBo and CPU

I agree.

 

From what you have said I would bet on the m/board - but it will certainly be one of them :)

Good Luck.
