BCM BC875PLG Socket 4 ATX P4... Problem:

After installing CPU, RAM, HDD, VideoCard, and Front Side Headers, I tried to fire up my rig for the first time.

CPU fan, System fan all start, and I get a RED and Green LED light located at the lower left corner of the Motherboard and a totally obnoxious BEEEEP, and no other activity. No display at all?

I've built many AMD rigs in the past, and this is my first attempt at an INTEL build. Maybe I should have gone with a better namae brand than BCM, but I needed the ISA slot and this was the only P4 otion with built in ISA support.

Ideas?

No display at all can be video is not seated correctly or memory is not seated correctly. Memory can also be bad. For your beep codes click the link I have posted. This is bios codes & beep codes. Your Award bios beep codes will be listed when the page opends.
http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm

Looking at the Award bios beep code it hints your CPU may have overheated. Did you use thermal grease between the CPU & the heat sink. I couldn't find the green or red led's on the board layout. I know the green led just lets you know there is power to the board.
This board also requires you use the 4 pin ATX_12v connector for powering the CPU.

Hmmm my sussgestion in yoyr case is that, don't attach all things at once. do the following step bye step.

Step 1). Attach SMPS, Front Panel Connectio, and an in built speaker and CPU (don't add RAM, HDD, FDD, VGA Card or any thing els)

Power on and watch:

Case 1: if you can hear a long beep, then you CPU and board is OK

Case 2: No beep means CPU or board is faulty. Try to Reconnect CPU again and do step 1.

Step 2) Now power off and add RAM only.

Power on and watch.

Case 1: if you can hear the ok beep it means till now your RAM is Ok
otherwise clean your RAM connection and add it again.

Further you can add your VGA, HDD CD-ROM/DVD, PCI Devices etc. and easily short-out your problem.

Thanks
Iqbal

Display off after some time

As you have checked all of the removable components. That only leaves one bit left. The motherboard. Check the capacitors around the CPU socket and the Power connector. There is a common problem with Socket 775 CPU it is that the contacts on the CPU socket can be badly connected even when the CPU is fitted and locked in.

Dear Sir, my mother board d101 has been damaged can i use of p4sd m/b insted of that while i want all rest parts remain using i dont want change ram,SMPS, Proccesser etc.

fbhushan, the Intel D101GGC motherboard (Grand Country) supports;

1) Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron D, and Intel Pentium D processors that fit in an
> LGA 775 processor socket.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775

The Processor has the socket holes, and the processor socket (LGA 775) has the pins.
775 socket holes, and 775 pins.

The Front Side Bus (FSB) can be either 533MegaHertz, or 800MHz.


2) Supports DDR Sdram ram memory at either 333MegaHertz or 400MHz.
(PC2700 and PC3200, respectively)

Will support Up To 2GB of ram memory.
Has two ram memory slots. The maximum amount for EACH slot is 1GB


3) The SMPS used for it has,
A) One 24-pin ATX main power cable

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

B) One 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4


The Intel D101GGC motherboard has Four SATA headers (Connectors) on it, so I'm going to assume you are using a SATA harddrive.
This would mean the SMPS you are using should have at least one SATA power cable.

It should also have an assortment of 4-pin standard Peripheral power cables.
(Misnomered as 'Molex')



The Asus P4SD (Motherboard chipset Intel 865PE) supports;

1) Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Celeron processors that fit in a > Socket 478 processor socket

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478

The Processor has the pins, and the processor socket has the socket holes.
478 pins, and 478 socket holes.

Your Processor will NOT work.

The Ram Memory WILL work.

The SMPS MAY work.

I state MAY because the Asus P4SD motherboard uses a 20-pin ATX main power cable.

If the last four pins of the 24-pin ATX main power cable that you have on your SMPS right now, Do Not remove, you can Carefully cut them off. Wrap them up, and out of the way.
If you need guidance on this I can help instruct you.

You need an IDE (PATA) harddrive, or a SATA adapter card to use a SATA harddrive.

So there you have it sir.
