Help with first build.

[Angus01]

Attempted my 1st build tonight and.......nothing no fan no beeps nowt.

Help !!!

Specs are..

Asrock AliveNF4G
64 3500
Antec NSK440 with PSU
Geil DDR2 PC5300
7600GT

I am fine about all the connection apart from the System Panel Header

In the Manual it states it as follows

PLED+ / PLED - / PWRBTN# / GND / NO PIN
HDLED+ / HDLED- / GND / RESET# / DUMMY

From the front of the case I have the following

HDD LED 2 PINS
RESET SW 2 PINS
POWER LED 3 PINS
POWER SW 2 PINS

Could anyone confirm what goes where.

Also what would be the kind of step by step testing I should do to get this
thing working.

They do say a little knowledge is dangerous.

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Cheers

Thank for the reply's

Swapped some about and powered it up....and the fan spun round

Took all the other stuff out in disgust last night so I am just going to cable
everything up now.

It was the jumpers that was wrong its - really stupid as i have 4 pins to
connect a 2 hole power sw and a 3 hole Power LED so one of the LED one is
not connected at all - seems strange.

Anyway I will post back with the next problem shortly no doubt.

Right getting ratty now

All seems okay bar I keep getting a 1 beep memory error.

tried reseating / swapping into diff slots / only running 1 stick

but still nowt.

Ram is Geil DDR2 - 667 PC25300

Any idea's....please

 

[Angus01]

Yup its the first one.

Sorry for all the questions but how do I go about fixing that..

The sticker on the Ram states 1.8v

And the manual is poor to say the least.

 

[Angus01]

With no Ram i am getting 3 short beeps which are repeating over and over

 

[Angus01]

I have disconected HD,GFX and optical and still the same 3 beeps.

Could you give me more info about clearing the BIOS please.

 

[Angus01]

Tried resetting the CLRCMOS1 jumper.

But still getting the 3 beeps.

The only other jumper i see is the ps2 usb pw1 which is set to +5vsb instead
of +5 v

Building this for someone and I am going to be out of pocket if it dont work

Help !!!!

 

[Angus01]

Well stuck in the RAM in digust without HD,GFX an optical and I have lift off.

and a big smile

I am now got the option's for boot menu and below that CMOS setting's
wrong
F2 to run set up
F1 to load default values and continue

What should I be dooing now ?

 

[Angus01]
