I need some help here. When I boot up, I get nothing to the screen, and little to no hard disk activity. I've reset CMOS a number of times to no avail.
Here's a sequence of events:
I have my video overclocked at 300/550, and have had it there fine for a three weeks.
I tried overclocking my FSB from 133 to 150. Computer would not come up, nothing to screen.
I reset CMOS and she cmae up fine; I put my BIOS back like it was originally and she was fine.
I then tried overclocking DRAM @ 2.5-2-5-2-1 and with 4 bank interleave. Computer came up, but 3DMark2001SE wouldn't run. So I reset memory.
I then said to heck with overclocking, and decided to fix my floppy which to that point hadn't been working properly. I replaced the cable, and in POST got a Floppy Drive Error. I tried switching the IO cord around, replacing it, got the same Floppy Drive Error in POST.
OK, so I take the floppy out of the mix, try booting up with no floppy, and the computer gives out one long beep at the beginning, then just sits there. All fans whirring, but no screen and no hard drive activity.
OK, So, I reset CMOS and try powering up again without the floppy. Same problem. Add the floppy back. Same problem. Reset CMOS again. Same problem.
Any ideas out there for a n00b who might have f*cked up his new PC?
Thanks,
SD
