Michael:
I followed your instructions, and removed the cache dimm, and still no chime.
If the motherboards two monitor outputs (PC/Mac) are not functioning, would
that cause it not to startup? Is there a specific PCI video card that works with
the PCP? A friend told me that only ATI works properly, but in reading on the
list, I have seen other's clones mentioned with various cards. Still stumped!
Thanks for all the advise. This list is filled with many great people that are so
willing to help us "dummies!"
