Intel Motherboard wont boot.

[Alex Dallaway]

Hi all! Here's ny problem,

I recently purchased 128mb of DDR RAM from PNY, an Intel Desktop Board (D845PESV) and an Intel Pentium 4 Processor (2.80Ghz). I attached them all together without the hdd, cd drive or floppy. I put my ATI Radeon 2600SE AGP video card into its slot and then attached everything to my power box 'thingy' and plugged it in.

I turned it on and the fans started up but the monitor gave me the 'no signal' text. There were no beeps (even though the speakers were plugged in and powered). I tried resetting the 'other thingy' by taking the battery out for 2 mins but still nothing.

I really, really don't want to have to replace anything or take it back so any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Alex-

Do I understand you right, you did Not connect the HD or floppy drive or is that part of (everything attached to your 'thingy'?
What OS are you using?

I connected the bare minimun needed for this...power, memory, keyboard,vid card and monitor. Win Xp Pro.

You might have better luck if you connect the HD and Floppy drive.
