I had this happen two years ago with a PTP... I decided to strip all of the PCI cards, disconnect both scsi busses, and attempt to get the chime. I only had connected what the machine needed to get power to the board, run a CPU, with minimal RAM, and put a signal to the speaker. Eventually I had to put the stock processor back into it to make it start up.
Blowing some canned air into all of the slots before re-seating can help too... -=Dennis=- On 7/16/02 11:55 AM, "Scott Gerber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Still getting the blackscreen.
