I could really use some help…
I’m trying to re-build my old computer with a new…
Intel D955XBK I955X Socket 775 ATX Motherboard
Intel Pentium D 820 2.80GHz 800MHz 2MB processor
Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-400 400 Watt Power
1GIG DDR2 RAM
Nvydia 64mb Graphics card
(The case; hard drives & optical drives are all parts from my old setup.)
The only thing that I currently connected to the MOBO is the power source; the processor; the fan; the RAM and the video card (NONE of the drives are in any way connected) and I have already tried to clear the CMOS.
The problem I’ve been suffering through is that- First, the only way that I can get it to power on is by removing the onboard “coin” size battery-then keeping it out for a few seconds-then after reinstalling it-turning the power on, and BINGO it turns on!
Second, when I try to finally get in and adjust the settings in the BIOS it locks up and would not allow me to go any further than a “tab” two to the MAINTAINANCE or the to the MAIN-(when I got it to tab to the MAIN it showed that it recognized the type of primary parts of my computer…MOBO; Processor; RAM). Then after about 90 seconds the system just shut down. I went through the removing the battery thing and got it going again, only to have it shut down again and again…
Please help!!!
