Hi, I bought the following (new-retail) from Newegg and cannot get a post or boot- any ideas?
Shuttle AN35N Ultra 400
Athlon XP2500 333
Kingston HyperX 256 400DDR
NVidia FX5200
WD Caviar 80
The board power light comes on and all the neon and fans and case lights and crap come on... but no beeps, HD activity, or floppy seek, etc- nothing appears on screen. The vid card worked fine in previous system.
Using a generic 400w PS that worked in last system.
I can hear a "shhhick.....shhhick" repeating sound coming from the processor area (not the heatsink fan), sounds kinda like a hard drive seek sound.
Bad processer? Bad mobo? Need higher PS?
Thanks!!

I upgraded to a brand name 500w power supply and also tried another new processor. Same results- won't post. Took mb out of case to make sure wasn't grounding against case, tried to boot with only cpu, memory, and vid card- no luck.
So I sent mobo back to retailer for replacement. When the new mobo comes back and I still cannot boot, I'll know I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas here or is it obviously just me getting a bad mobo?

find the jumper on the mobo to reset the cmos settings. Do that and try booting. tell me if it works.
your PS isent the problem. so forget about that.
