mobo problems

[gntlkilr]

I got this motherboard off ebay. Socket A, MSI KT6 Delta. Got a working, known-good Barton Core 3000+, known good 333Mhz ram, working PSU, good vid card (XFX 6800 Ultra AGP 8x), no love.

Ok, here's the symptoms. I get no post, no power on anything EXCEPT the NIC. if I remove power fromt he PC, the NIC turns off. So the mobo gets power. and I ran the PSU through a tester, good voltages and good amperages. So, might be the switch, used a switch from my old rig, I know the switch works as soldered. No love. ok. Swapped out RAM, nothing. swapped out vid card just in case, nothing. ARGH. thats all I gotta say.

So tell me, personal, professional, idiotic opinions all welcome. Is my board fried? If so, ebay, here I come. If not, ........help? :?

Well sorry to say but I would never buy a mobo off ebay.... if it is a good deal. Socket A boards are pretty old. Check to make sure you can power on with no RAM and get the error beeps. Could be that your processors is not compatible with the mobo. (I'm leaning towards a CPU problem)

Pretty much I'm saying do some double checking. Hope it helps.

I'm with Fuga on this one. If I remember right Socket A only took Athlon, Athlon XP, and Duron CPU's. Pretty sure the Barton is a later class that probably was never covered by your particular board.

Barton is an Athlon Xp chip. HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors#Athlon_XP_.2 2Barton.22_.28Model_10.2C_130_nm.29)

The board supports up to 333 FSB, mine is the 333 FSB part number. I thought that it was the CPU at first, but its not.


Crap, it doesn't support the 2600+ that I got, (my bad, thought it was the 3000, I knew I fried one, just not which one, in another board). It takes EVERYTHING ELSE, but not that CPU....ish

Did you try for the RAM error beeps?

Did you try for the RAM error beeps?

yup, nada.

HAHA! I WAS Right, it was the 3000+. Hehe....I was confused, working too many things at once. and yes, this boards supports this chip.
AthlonXP 3000+ OK
