I just put a brand new motherboard in my system and it won't do anything except turn the cpu fan on. I mean that's it. Nothing else, no video or even trying to access the floppy or hd. I just built this system and it worked fine with the exact same mobo except that board had a bad reset switch so I sent it back to the manufacturer for another one. Any tips ? I've tried all I know ! System has win98,30g hd, k7ama mobo, 300w power supp,onboard sound,amr,nic
Most new boards require that the CPU fan be plugged into a specific fan header on the motherboard. This is so that the system will shut down if the fan fails. Make sure you're plugged into that marked header.
