have you plugged both power connectors onto the motherboard there is the 20/24 pin one, then a 4 pin one that need to be plugged in.
Does you system POST? Meaning do you get any beeps when you turn the PC on? If it does can you go into your BIOS?
by the way, when i take the 4 pin connector out, i have the same problem, i think it will be with the 4 pin connector not plugged in. i am guessing they cant post, and that there monitor does not come on.
I thought, and please do not ask me where I took it from, that the four pin connector was to enable reset and/or standby or something like that... So theoreticaly the system should work without being connected. Be interesting to see if your hunch is right...
The Prescott wasn't designed with Socket 478 in mind, and tends to require more power than a Northwood chip. It's possible your power supply isn't up to snuff to handle it. Add to that how Prescott's didn't always play nicely with Socket 478 anyway (if there was a BIOS update for it, which may be required in your case).
thanks for replyin, i just recently found out that wen i left the comp for couple of mins, without nothing showin on the screen. it seems to be checking the floppy drive, the led on it kept beepin after couple seconds? what could that be? should i put bootdisks in? and my powersupply is pretty good.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144010
have you actually check your motherboard for what i said? see the image below? look at that yellow chircled area i have put on, in that chircled area, you will see a plug thing, look for that plug on your board, if there is not a cable plugged into it, locate the cable on your power supply, and then plug that in. (my motherboard, just to show you what i mean) most motherboards need a cable to be plugged into that plug. (this is the exact same board type as yours, it may not look the same) (865perl) (865pe)
Honestly, no it isnt, it looks to me like it's a generic Case PSU, get yourself a decent one, read this thread on tips for a good new one.
the PSU is horrible, its no good. BUT, that is not whats causing problem. somthing music be plugged in wrong, have you actually checked graphics card for molex connector for power supply?
