| 1127807 | 2010-08-14 23:53:00 | Did you plug the ATX 12v (4 pin) adapter in as well? You have to if the PSU and mobo have the connection | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1127808 | 2010-08-14 23:55:00 | the mobo doesnt have a 4-pin connection | user123 (15924) | ||
| 1127809 | 2010-08-15 00:07:00 | Have you got on board graphics or a separate card? You would need to insert a graphic card if you don't have on board otherwise it won't boot. There are no on board graphics apparently so have you put an AGP or PCI graphics card in? It won't boot unless you do. |

| 1127811 | 2010-08-15 00:15:00 | When you say the speakers are plugged in is this the speaker in the case or speakers as plugged into audio out? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1127813 | 2010-08-15 00:19:00 | Chances are that your motherboard has failed, probably through bad capacitors, this is after all a 7 year old mobo, have a look for swelled or leaking caps (check your PSUs as well) | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1127814 | 2010-08-15 00:22:00 | I still think you had best plug in a graphic card as normally the PC will be looking for one of those before it can boot. Either PCI or AGP. You won't be able to check the BIOS until you do anyway. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
