My friend bought components to build a PC. It's a dual core pentium, ABIT motherboard, 250 GB hdd, PCI Express video card. Got all components assembled, hooked up monitor, fired it up.
Got nothing. Monitor apparently getting no signal (led stays amber), get a single beep (about 5 seconds, pause, single 5 second beep again, pause, etc).
Mobo has Phoenix D686 bios from what we can see, logged onto Phoenix site to figure out the beep code, is not listed. At least I don't see a 1-1-1 or whatever code.
Anybody have any idea what is wrong? Similar beep codes indicate either a video problem or a memory problem, but I'm getting no video. Does that narrow down the issue?
