Computer Will Not Boot

It appears that the hard drives are not getting power. All that will happen when I power up is all the fans run and the monitor blinks from analog to digital for a few seconds and the the monitor's on/off begins to blink.

I have a new power supply & new motherboard installed.

I tested the following in my other computer:

RAM = Good
Pentium 4 Processor = Good
Video Card = Good
Hard Drive = Good
Monitor = Good

My old motherboard was doing the same thing. It was an ASUS P4P800.

The new motherboard is an Intel P4 Socket 478 with Sound & Lan AGP USB 2.0 Micro ATX Hyper X. It has the Intel 865G chip set, but I don't know the number.

It sounds like it could be your processor, how did you test your processor to make sure it worked correctly? Also how manny stick off RAM do you have and the total amount in MB or Gigs.

No disiplay on the screen of the laptop and on the external monitor

No display on either? Does it sound like the computer completed the boot cycle? Do you hear fans running and the hard drive spinning?

What happens when you hit the power button? Do you hear any beeps or see any blinking lights? Does anything post to the screen during the boot cycle?

If the boot cycle completed and you see no display on either monitor, then your video card is bad.

Check the resolution of the screen by right clicking on an empty part of the screen and choosing properties. Go to settings and make the resolution 1078 x 768 and hit apply and ok. There are instances when the resolution will change from a software update etc. that is not supported by the monitor or graphics card.

Problem

Solution
One possibility is that computer is looking for drivers for you video card. It could be hung up looking in the wrong places. Remove all peripheral hard drives and memory sticks. Try again.

Emachines 1900+ gets power to the monitor and computer but wont boot

There could be a number of causes. Do you hear any beeps when the computer starts up? Try seating all the chips in the motherboard. That means, apply pressure to each individual chip on the motherboard with your finger or thumb. The goal is to make sure each chip is securely attached to the board. Sometimes, heat or new h/w installs partially "pop" some of the chips out of the motherboard - causing the circuitry to be disconnected...
