HELP! New Machine wont boot.
I just got a new motherboard, video card, cpu, and RAM. The video card, RAM, and CPU got here first so I replaced the old parts with them, but kept the old motherboard. It was working fine for a few days with the new parts. The problem started yesterday when I went and pressed the reset button on my tower to restart the computer. It appeared to restart but then the monitor stayed black and the light on the monitor stayed orange. I flipped the power supply off and back on and rebooted again and this time the monitor came on but stayed on the initial screen and all the normally white text was orange. I rebooted again, this time the text was red and the same thing... didn't boot up. I rebooted one last time and then the monitor did nothing. I just got a No Signal message.
I tried a different monitor and nothing. I tried a different graphics card, same thing. I tried a different CPU and nothing! So I was bummed and quit for the time being and decided to wait for my new mobo, which was going to arrive last night. It arrived and I went and took the comp apart, installed everything assuming that the issue was with the mobo because I switched out all the other parts and the problem was still there. I started the machine and it STILL WONT BOOT! I then swiched the power-supply and still. Same thing. And it isn't the RAM because the new board uses DDR and my old one was SDRAM. So it is new RAM now as well. I have no clue what is wrong.
New Mobo: ASUS A7V8X
New Ram: 333Mhz PC2700 DDR
New Video Card: Gainward GeForce 4 TI4800
New CPU: Athlon XP2600
Please, I hope someone can help me out here.
