Athlon 64 3200/ Abit UL8/ 512MB GeIL PC3200 Problem-No Display Or Beeps

[jonathan_g79]

Hi everyone,

I received the AMD Athlon 64 3200 Retail / Abit UL8 / 512MB GeIL PC3200 CAS2.5 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-011-OK) bundle this week and ive been having a bit of problems.
I installed the motherboard, memory and CPU, connecting only my hard drive (IDE), graphics card (ATI Radion 9700 Pro) and LCD monitor (Hyuandi 19" digital out). When I power it on, the CPU fan and graphics card fan start up but nothing is displayed and no warning beeps occur. I have checked my internal speaker cable and its connected correctly.
I have tried putting the memory into DIMMS 3 & 4 rather than 1 & 2. I have also swapped the card for another agp card and analogue monitor. Nothing at all. I also reset the bios using the jumper.
Im going to try another CPU and memory and also try my memory and CPU in another persons PC. I cant do that until tomorrow though.
I just wanted to see if anyone has come across such a problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My thinking is that its a faulty motherboard, memory or cpu since ive pretty much ruled out any of my existing components.

Thanks

Jonny

I'll try another processor and some memory in it on Monday that I know works.
Once I figure out what it is, i'll get it sent back to OC. Dont really want to send them everything back since I really doubt all three parts are faulty
Bit of a bummer when you get faulty parts. Just as well I have another PC for some work I have to do for Monday
