OK, installed my old MB in a new Antec case/PS. Everything was fine until I unplugged a HD while still pluged in.(I know, I know!) It powered down. When I turned it back on, the light on the MB came on, light on the front of the case came on, Floppy drive, CPU fan, PS fan, and case fan. No Power seemed to goto the HD, Video, CDRom. I figured I burned the HD so I installed a different one. Still nothing. I thought maybe I fried the AGP card so installed a new one. Still nothing. Tried another PS, but get the same results.
What gives? I'm very confused!

So this is what I get when I power on; Case fan, Power supply fan, motherboard light, decorative light on front of case, and floppy drive light.
No power to CD Rom, or Hard drives.....So, no video and I'm stuck right there.

Thanks,

Once upon a SNAFU :rolleyes:, I disconnected a CD-ROM while booted and caused some bad sectors on my harddrive. Probably a voltage spike of sorts. Who knows? Had to reformat and install 'around' the sectors.

First thing to try is a barebones boot.

1 stick of RAM
CPU
mobo
PSU
video card

Try to get to a BIOS screen. If successful, power down and add one thing at a time to find the problem.
