| 159657 | 2003-07-14 23:56:00 | :) I have pulled it all out, got M/B on floor, with vid card and ram in, and PSU sitting next to it. Powered it up, and it works, single beep, detects all RAM, FSB was only running at 100mhz - but this may be because I had reset all the settings before hand. I didn't find any lose screws or anything, so it must have been because the M/B was sitting straight onto the brass screw thingy's. So what do I do? Put it back in with plastic or rubber washers on all brass things (oh, by the way - when I lifted MoBo out of cse, most of the washers had fallen off) Also, I looked in my old case, and they just had metal bits where the mobo rested, and where the screws went in - no washers or insulation or anything. Let me no what I should do next. Cheers |

| 159658 | 2003-07-15 00:27:00 | most screw holes n the mobo have a soldered ring around tthem and are usually 'earthed' so having no washes is ok. my guess is you have a spare brass standoff that is in the wrong place. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 159659 | 2003-07-15 01:03:00 | Inclined to agree with tweak'e. Check that each standoff has a matching screw hole on the motherboard. Could start with just putting the motherboard and power supply in and turn on to ensure the motherboard fan works. Then progressively add the peripherals. |

I had a look at the case, and yup. you were right, there was a brass standoff that was in the wrong place, i removed it, put Mobo back in, powered her up, and she worked! I've been worried like hell for the past 18 hours over a screw! Thanks a heap you guys! You deserve a medal, now I can get back to playing my games using my GF FX!! Cheers |
