Power supply set to 110? Ok but since the power in Korea is 220v, don't you think it's dangerous to set it down to 110 since 220 will be fed into the PS? Otherwise I've kept it set to 220v so far. If I set it to 110 do you think the power supply unit would handle everything fine?
The main cpu fan, the southbridge fan, and the dual fans inside the PS unit all spin as normal. furthermore a case fan I attached for test also spinned well.
Hmmm actually didn't find a jumper yet that would reset the cmos. Will have to leaf through the poorly written mobo manual again to see. (it's gigabyte ga-7vaxp (original, not +)). |

| I'm now beginning to think the problem is that you have a 'monitor of colour' that refuses to work for you, whitey. |

Yah it's a color monitor. But like I said, the hard drive also isn't spinning, so it's not just the monitor. |

Um, that was a joke....
Seriously though, I'm pretty sure sadsac meant the opposite of what he wrote with regard to voltage.
It seems pretty obvious to me your BIOS has a problem (assuming the board, power supplies, and video card are actually fine) since you're not getting through the POST, as has been pointed out to you already. You said your board and video card were tested out to your satisfaction before- how exactly were they tested? Did you see evertything? Did they change some bios settings when they were testing? |

If the mobo doesn't have a jumper to reset the CMOS, you can take off the battery and short the circuit. When you lift the battery, you should see two thin connectors which lead to the battery, about a millimetre apart. Join the two with a paperclip and you would have reset the CMOS.
I usually can't be arsed to find the jumper, so that's what I usually do.
jae. |

Perhaps giving advice for appliances you've never actually owned so you made one out of cardboard isn't the wisest idea. |

| Thank you Bulsajo, I did mix the voltages. If all the fans and peripheral on board devices are spinning up, then there is certainly power going to the board. I think the problems are not associated with the power supply. Is it possible that the CPU may have been damaged in some way. You have basically done all in the way of fault finding, it may be time to ask to meet someone and get two heads together working on the problem. |
