Hi all, I just put together a rig using an Asus A7V and an Athlon 1100 thunderbird. All seemed to go well at first. Started fine and got w98 installed. Then after a couple of restarts it stopped posting (mostly, sometimes randomly it will start fine). No beeps or video. I've disconnected everything, the HDD, cd drive, floppy, RAM and the GPU removed. Still nothing. None of the caps are bulged or leaking. I've changed the CMOS battery. The board is set to jumper free mode though I've set up the jumpers/dip switches correctly anyway according to the manual.
Anyone have an idea what might be going wrong here?
I should mention the PSU is an old model, a Zalman ZM400a. I opened it up and checked the caps inside and they look good, no leaks or bulges. I checked the voltages with a multimeter before I used it and in the bios first time I started it and all looked good. The temp readings for the CPU looked good in the bios too.
