| 72848 | 2002-08-22 00:42:00 | hey btong i had the same prob wen i put my pc together, the pc would boot up, but no hardware would go. in my case it was the Mobo, there was a fried chip on board, the mobo wasn't letting any power fo to any hardware. if you have a volt-0-metre, stick the two needles into the power leads that click into the hdd, and the power outage should hover just over 12v. and if the in which you have to insert these needles though. hope this helped. |
