New Build Not Working Help Me

Just bought

Shuttle sp35p2
9600GT
Corsair memory
Samsung spinpoint sata HD
Samsung Sata optic drive

Problem is when I switch it on it gets to the first screen which has a big shuttle logo and gets no further...

Iv have no other hardware to swap and test! so I played around with the memory sticks checked the cpu and gpu. If I take out the memory or the cpu it dosnt even get to that screen so I think there ok! but disconnecting the HD makes no difference at all.

Am i forgetting something???

no it justs sits on the logo screen....there is no options on there at all

No nothing...tried cmos, even tried jumper settings on HD not sure if thats needed with a sata one as it didnt come with any jumper plugs....

Iv swapped them with the optic sata port to no avail
I only have a laptop

Shuttles manual is crap...it only ships with a quick setup guide...no mention of video jumpers, will have to look into that

Are all the power plugs in the correct places? Like the little CPU 4pin one.

this is from the shuttle website, not that it helps you....

What do I do if my system fails to boot-up or hangs at POST?

The first thing to do is to shut down the system and clear CMOS with a jumper. Then check all hardware devices systematically, including CPU, RAM, VGA, AGP and power supply. Check that your CPU, RAM and AGP are supported by your system (DDR and AGP support list is only available for XPC). If you are still unable to resolve this issue, please contact your local reseller/retailer (point of purchase) for more directions, and if necessary send it in for service.

seen that all ready and have done all the above too barring contacting the retailer

If I try to boot with no ram nothing happens...just a blank screen

So your getting no audio errors at all? did you plug in the onboard speaker?

hmmm no just took out the GPU and Ram and no beeps, maybe this dosnt have a on board speaker :confused:

think i will get in touch with ocuk see what they suggest....im pretty sure iv tried everything.... (dont think this has video jumpers either, (the online manual is a load of crap too)

Hmm Guys

From another forum I just been pointed to a compatibility list! now I thought from the list I looked at that the CPU was compatible but apparently not....(dont ask me what list I was looking at as I dont know) My E5200 isnt there but the E5400 is! http://global.shuttle.com/support_list03.jsp?PI=1045 so maybe this is the issue?? and more annoyingly I have no way of testing it unless I spend out more money for a cpu :rolleyes:

Well at least your cpu is supported so that rules out that problem....must be a bad batch. I was contemplating buying a new CPU but I wont bother now...

RMA'd mine too....mine also was the older version. Got to wait for them to test it aswell as I had no way of testing any of my hardware with other ones.
