Couple of things to try: 1: Reseat the RAM. Make sure you have discharged any ESD by simply touching the power supply with the power supply *OFF* (no nasty shocks please!).
2: Check all cables and power connections, esp. keyboards. Some M/B's will fail post with no keyboard plugged in. 3: Remove all components, including disconnecting FDD/HDD/CDROM, with the exception of the video. Try booting. Obviously the farthest it will get is "no operating system found". If you do get this, plug in your drives one at a time, starting with your HDD and see if you can get it to work. Make sure the cables are connected pin 1 (stripe side) to pin one on the drive and the board. Sometimes M/B's will not POST correctly if the HDD cable is backwards. 4: Offer pizza and soft/hard drinks to your favorite TriLUG'er to come over and help you look at it. Sometimes a 2nd set of eyes is all you need. On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 02:39, Merle Watts wrote: > I hav a via mini ITX.
