Hey All, I know there are a lot of hardware guru's out there, so I hope no one minds me asking this question. I have an Athlon 600 Slot A CPU (yes an oldie by now :-) and a FIC SD-11 motherboard. The problem is when I turn the machine on it does nothing. I mean nothing. No beeps, no movement. Dead. The fans come on and that's about it. I know this isn't much to work with, but anyone have any idea what this could be? It's not the memory/drives, or anything else, because I've tested everything in another machine, except the board and CPU, because I don't have another Athlon CPU, just Intel. I know neither the board or the chip is worth much now, but I'd like to find out which one is dead, and replace it, because a 600Mhz machine is not shabby, by any standards, even if it is the original slot A Athlon. However, I know the whole Slot CPU thing came and went fast. From day one it was bad heat dissipating design. So I wonder if that may be the problem. I really don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Once again, sorry this is Off Topic, but I'm looking for any help I can get.
