Hi Brian, You said you replaced the hard drive. Did you take the old one out and add a new ATA/IDE drive as a master? Did you double check that the jumpers are set right.
The reason I ask is, I�ve made the mistake before when swapping drives in and out and forgetting to reset a jumper and then have my computer just sit there. If the board is rev 1, it won�t allow you to use a master and slave drive configuration. There are 2 IDE slots on the mb, so if you want to run 2 drives you need 2 separate cables and both drives must be set to master. If it is a revision 2 or 3 board then I�m fairly sure you can have a master/slave on the same cable. But you can�t really tell until you can get the computer to boot. One of mine actually had a little sticker inside the case (near the power supply) that states Rev 1. And what was that about the memory? You tested both and they are bad? If you have a bad memory module in these machines they will usually start to boot and then you�ll hear a sound like breaking glass and then nothing. I would also yank out all the memory and install just one module that you know is good. Good luck.
