Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great time.
I tried to build a retro PC from my and my cousins old parts. I set up the motherboard with the power supply unit connected and 2 1G ram.
His motherboard has integrated graphics so I attached the monitor and turned the PC on.
To cut a long story short, at first it booted and showed a glitchy output.
text were scrambled and suddenly there was a cascade of colorful stripes, I restarted, and removed one ram module, I no longer saw any such cascade of color.
but the system doesnt boot, In order to boot the system, (which by the way has no drives attached to it, not even a vga as it uses an integrated one and at this point im testing if everything works or not)
I have to remove the power cord from behind the power supply, wait a minute and then attach it. upon doing so, the system beeps once and the motherboard logo gets shown. then it reaches the black screen and if I restart
the system doesnt do anything, even beeping!, the cpu fan spins, if I add a vga, the vga fan spins, yet there is no system beep and there is no booting up! there is nothing!
If I remove rams, the system beeps with two consecutive beeps, signaling there is no ram whatsoever.
So I the motherboard faulty? are rams faulty? or is it my PSU thats some how faulty?
The motherboard is like 12+ years old. RAMs are also as old.
Thank you all in advance
