Just built a Clevo M570U and can't get a BIOS POST
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 8:24 pm
So I bought a Clevo M570U from RJTech with a 7950gtx, no ram, proc or hd. I bought a T7200 and 120gb SATA 2.5" hd from Newegg and had some extra RAM at work (PC2-5300 from a Lenovo T60). The shell was not missing any parts (like video card). I installed the proc, hd and ram with no problem (yes I remembered to remove the protective plastic from the heatsink where the thermal tape is). Unfortunately, when I power it on, nothing (well almost nothing) seems to happen. I can barely hear the hard drive spin, but I get no beeps and nothing on the screen. The little green lights below the keyboard seem to indicate I have power. Any ideas? I've been a computer tech for well over 10 years, so this was a piece of cake. Unfortunately, I have no way to tell if I have a bad proc or shell/mb, since I don't have another proc or shell to test with. =(
