i have a abit kt7, geforce2 gts 32 ddr, enlight 7237 w/ 300wand a duron 600 @ stock! i have no idea wut is wrong with it. it wont even post. no post beeps or anthing. i tried to switch ram, vid cards, HD's, and power supply. i reallie need help! thanx!

questions:

1. are the fans spinning up or is it completely dead?

2. is the power supply set on the right voltage (have to ask... )

3. did you do anything recently to the system? or did it just stop working after X number of days?

well everything spins fan on the chipset, cpu and video card. ive tried both voltages to no avail. and i just changed cases, but then i changed it back put in a new vid card. i had a gf2 mx but juss bought a gf2 gts 32 ddr much better. but yea thats about it.

Do you have the latest BIOS for your mobo ?

You can also check http://www.viahardware.com/faq/kt7/kt7faq.htm or search http://groups.google.com/ for "kt7 geforce2"

i dont even get a beep or anything. now i cant even turn the power on sometimes. but when i do i go no beep wutsoever. its juss on. i dont kno wut to do!

Check again all your connections. Be sure all cables are plugged in fully and one didn't get loose. So this just started after you changes cases?

If you are sure all the connections are ok, even the ones going to the motherboard like from the power switch then can you try another cpu? I'd take that one out and test in in another system if you have one there. And be sure the pins are not bent. Also are any jumpers on the mobo set properly?

Unplug all connections and cards from the mobo.

Check to see if there's ANY standoffs under the mobo that AREN'T aligned with a screw hole on the mobo - you could have a medal standoff shorting some solder pads under the mobo.

Put back ONLY what you need to get it to post: install ONLY the video card, connect the power switch, speaker. Don't connect the IDE or floppy ribbons for now and don't connect any of the power connectors except the one to the mobo.

Make sure the memory and CPU is fully seated (double check - I've seen ram LOOK like they were seated but they weren't) and fire her up and see what happens.

Double check any jumpers.

Hope this helps...

i tried that and same thing powers up just fine. but no post beeps or video signal. i dont kno what could be wrong. i dont have a shim on the cpu. could that be the problem. cuz my other system had one but i took it off and it worked. so........ i dont wut is wrong. no beeps i tried to only power on with RAM cpu and vid card but no beep there. then i tried with IDE cables with a cd-rom wd 20gb 7200 and floppy but nothing btw i have a abit kt7 with a duron 600.

come on now any ideas ANYONE!!!!!!!!!
