ok i tore my computer down to clean out some dust and re-route some cables for a cleaner look and better air flow. i also cut out some grates over the fans on the case for better air flow. i tore everything apart down to the bare chassis. kept everything organized and handled everything carefully. this isnt my first time inside a computer case. so i put everything back together fired it up and nothing. nothing on the screen, no post, nothing.
system:
asus p4g8x delux MB
p4 2.4 GHz
PATA 320 GB
SATA 500GB
PATA dvd r/rw
1 GB ram
symptoms upon power up:
all fans come on (case, cpu, psu)
green light on MB is on
DVD drive works (tray opens and spins a disc if its in there)
HDD light is on all the time
both HDDs spin up
no display
no beeps
things ive tried unsuccessfully:
different video card
no video card
no HDD or DVD drive hooked up
no front panel connectors connected hooked up (besides power switch)
12V cpu connector removed and EZ-connector hooked up (and vice cersa)
combinations of the above
the system worked beautifully before. i dont see any reason why it shouldnt boot now. anyone have any ideas?
