I just purchased the Barebones kit from TigerDirect with the Chaintech
7NJL6 mobo(w/ AMD Athlon XP 3000+) and added a 250GB HD, 1GB PC3200 +
512MB PC3200 RAM with a Chaintech GeForce FX 6600 video card. It has
a 500watt modular PSU, but it will not boot. It powers on and the
fans all spin, but there is no display at all. The memory is firmly
seated and I have tried disconnecting everything but the memory and
video card, but still it doesn't display. Any ideas? Thanks.

Tried that. I reset the CMOS, still nothing. I stripped everything
off the board except the CPU, and there were no system beeps or
anything. I reseated the CPU(AMD Athlon XP 3000+) and heatsink, but
to no avail. Running out of ideas here...(I even tried unplugging
the CPU fan to see if I got system beeps, but didn't get any).

that was going to be my next question (beeps). no beeps and the speaker is
connected properly, usually ends up being the MB or the CPU

Yeah, I decided it was 1 of the 2. Both are brand new, it's
frustrating to think TigerDirect would send a defective part. I've
had great success with them before. I'm currently testing to see if
the heatsink warms up when it's on for awhile. Have you found this
to be an accurate test of the CPU? If not, I've got another 3000+ in
my other PC i guess i could test with. Thanks.
