I'm getting absoloutly nothing
Just installed a new motherboard (intel celeron 300mhz). When I goto boot the computer nothing happens...I get a very dark monitor screen. This system was working however I did change a setting in the CMOS: "enabled - cache". At the time I did not realize this chip had no level 2 cahce onboard! Could this keep the system from starting up? If so how can I get the system to start. Win95 is on the HD and was previously working before this alteration to the CMOS.
make sure the ram is in properly and change your video card to another slot, if it still happens tell me

The video card is on the motherboard! It one of those 3in1 jobs.

ok, is there anyway you can disable so you can put a different one on, just to test if its the motherboard or not
If video card is OK, it's possible motherboard has a problem. Does the computer speaker do any sound ?.

I beleive so but I'm not sure how! And to answer vikings question there are no sounds coming off anything!
what kind of hard drive do you have installed? IDE or SCSI?
if its the vid card it could be the motherboard but it could be other things like the ram, do u hear the ram count??

Sorry guys, the CMOS had to be wiped clean. Luckily the store I got the card from did this for free!
