Try disconnecting the hard drives and see if it posts. If so, then that
is the problem. I have had that problem a couple of times when building
systems.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Computer will not "post"
I just installed an Intel CA810 mobo in a new case and pwr supply.
Equipped it with a known good celeron 600mhz processor, 128mb pc100 ram
(also known good),and, a new 10gb hd and, 1.44 floppy and, new cd-rom.
I've got the Intel driver cd that came with the mobo. After making all
the connections and triple checking them, I proceeded to fire up the
beast. The first thing I observed was that the Power-on led did not
light. I checked the polarity twice according to the diagram. It was
correct. The second thing I observed is that the stand-by power led
installed on this board was lit. The hd and cd-rom searched and then
stopped. There is no video post or anything else on the screen either.
Since I can't get this machine to post, I can't get into Bios or do
anything else except sit and stare at a blank screen. There was no post
"beep" as wel l. I checked with Intel and they assured me that this
board would support up to 700mhz both ppga and fcpga. I tried the new
case power supply with other boards and it works fine. I also tried all
the components on other mobos and systems and they all work fine. What
am I doing wrong? Has anyone else ever had this problem? I hope
someone can help me. Thanks Ed Bogert
