post/fans on full blast  Last response: in Systems  Hey
everybody, so my fathers pc finally started heading south so we
decided to 'refurbish' it. I purchased a new HDD and motherboard
for it. I was hoping to run Ubuntu on it but I didn't realize
till after I purchased it that the board didn't support linux so
I will just have to transfer the xp license.  When I flip the
power switch on the power supply the MoBo lights come on and the
fans run on full blast, but it wont do anything else. I know
everything is connected correctly and I tested my power supply
in another pc and it checks out. I tried it with 2 sticks of
ram(pc4200), tried each one individually, I even turned it on
with the processor heat sink off to see if the processor would
warm up but it didn't. (oh and yes I know I'm putting the ram in
the correct slots)  Here are the components in the pc: HP
Pavilion A1523w (only the case and cd drives remain)  Power
supply: Thermaltake TR2 430W P
