Hi, I hope some can help me, I just installed a new Mach Speed MoBo and I can not get to the Bios, all I get is a black screen. I'm trying to install win Xp Pro and having no luck. I've switched mem. sticks, tried the on board video and checked the processor several times. Using an Intel P4 3.2 processor, (2) DDR 512 sticks and an Nvidia 5500 256MB card, 400 watt supply and a creative sound card (Audigy). Please Help! Tony
Try to solve th eproblem by process of ellimination. On another PC or working mother board, chaeck the video card and memory modules. Unless you are sure that the memory and video card is OK, trying them all together with an untested motherboard will difficult. If you are sure that the Video and memory is OK and still the motherboard will not start, we can narrow down the problem to the mo bo, CPU and Power supply. If the board switches on (LED lights and CPU fan starts) we can rule out th epower supply and we are sure that the problem is in the motherboard / CPU. if this is the case, return the board for replacement. If it eill not power on ( no LED lights and the CPU fan will not start), then it might be that the power switch is not connected properly to the motherboard or the Power supply is defective.
Look for the reset jumper on the board and then reset it then try again
