If you have ruled out the power supply then most
likely it is a configuration problem, or other
hardware problem.. ie. the chip is bad, a memory chip
is bad. go to the tried and true. test and replace
method until you have ruled out each component. You
will need a working compatible machine to do this as
the one you have is an unknown at this point.
>From my experience, the newer technology doesn't
always follow the old standards. If this is a
jumperless mobo, then config, is usually out of the
equation. swap cpu's with a working machine. swap
memory with a working machine... and identify wich
component is causing the problem.
good luck
