Well I decided to use XP until we can figure out what to do with the new build. I installed XP. The HP website does not have a driver for audio so I looked up the motherboard information. That info lists the sound chip as a Realtek HD audio chip. So I went to the RealTek site and downloaded the driver for HD sound. Installed the driver. I have a volume control icon next to the clock. When I turn up or turn down the volume there is no sound. While playing a song from WMP there is no sound. I h

At this point I don't know if the board is bad. I will not know until we put a AM2 CPU in it to see if it will fire up. As for the RMA process I can request a RMA form but I will still have to send it back. I can't do that. So I guess my options are to use Fedora or Windows XP. I thought I would be done using XP by now. Sigh. Thanks for the help guys. Sorry.

[quote who="doortech1" reply="303" id="3314765"]Kona, I do not believe for one minute 3btech refurbished a board and it is dead now. If the cpu is not compatible, which it is not, you would get no post beeps . So, lets lean that direction.[/quote] Sounds good, and I agree. [quote who="doortech1" reply="303" id="3314765"]Last thing, do any of the case fans that plug directly to the board or the cpu fan work when powered up?[/quote] Yes the CPU fan spins up.

The old PSU had two power connectors. The new one has two as well. Both were plugged in. Seriously guys I think the mobo is dead. I have nuked my new hard drive, and I think I will just install Linux to turn the machine into a Internet terminal and music player at this point until we figure out what we are going to do. No sense installing Windows now only to reinstall it again down the road. Any ideas on a fix? I guess I need a AM2+ mobo. I would send the old one back if I could affor

[quote who="starkers" reply="298" id="3314692"]If that is the case then an exchange or refund would be in order, so yeah, check that out as it could well be your lifeline to a workingPC.[/quote] I have no way to do that. I have no funds at all to send things back. As it is right now the P4 is running OK and I am using the new LCD so I am happy as I can be for now. No worries.

[quote who="doortech1" reply="290" id="3314661"]Do you get any form of life like lights or anything to indicate the psu is working?[/quote] PSU is working fine. As a matter of fact it is working right now. I transplanted the old P4 and mobo to the new case. After dusting off the CPU cooler everything is running fine. I still need to reinstall Windows, I am using Linux right now. [quote who="doortech1" reply="290" id="3314661"]Do you have a voltmeter?[/quote] No, I do n

Yep just checked and double checked the power connections and every other connection. Everything is connected as it should be. Upon power up nothing happens. At this point I bet it is a DOA motherboard since I trust Starkers said this CPU worked fine. BTW Starkers the CPU isn't missing any pins.

So all of the parts came today. I took my my time and assembled the computer just like I have many times before. Plugged everything in the rear and guess what? Blank screen. Sure the fan and hard drive start up but that's it. I think the CPU may not be compatible with this motherboard. The LCD works great. So I have no idea what to do. For now I am going to transfer the HP motherboard with the Pentium 4 into the new case. The old HP case is missing a side and has seen bett

[quote who="Savyg" reply="43" id="3314230"]I don't believe XP has ISO support, so it may simply not give you the option. That would be weird, but I'm not sure at any rate.[/quote] That's what I have been reading. Many people are having the same issue I am having when upgrading from XP.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="34" id="3314198"]See my above reply. If you're running the setup, you've passed the option to save the iso to your PC. It is offered during download.[/quote] Dude you guys just don't it. The hell with Windows 8. I bought it, and clicked on the link in my email. All that does is download the installer program. I don't get ANY options with the download, all it does is download the installer program you see here: <img src="http://im

I don't get that screen during download or even after download. I go into my email, grab the link MS sent me, download the installer, run it and the screenshots I posted is what happens. I do not ever get that screen to burn an ISO. Others are having the same issue after looking around the net.
