Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot a new computer I am building for my daughter.
m/b- D1170-A (fujitsu-siemens)(onboard sound and video)
cpu- Intel Celeron 800mhz (socket 370)
RAM- pc100 64mb sdram (x2)

So far, I have not connected anything else,as there is no display, and so no access to the bios.
All components are new,including case and power supply,  and the mainboard lights up, but that's as far as it goes. I have tried 2 new processors so far.
When I disconnect the monitor, I get a white screen, so a connection is being made somewhere.
I have checked and double checked the switches.
When I remove the ram, I get the beeps like I should.
I've emailed fujitsu-siemens who have been about as much use as a paper umbrella in a rainstorm.
Any suggestions anyone?
I want to try everything possible before I condemn the m/b, as I will run into the same problems with the replacement.
I think I've covered everything.
Thanks in advance.
Michele Sayer
