hello,
i am trying to determine what is the culprit in a new system i am putting together. I bought a Chaintech Zenith board http://www.chaintech.com.tw/tw/eng/p...No=13&PISNo=12 ) and i am using a amd XP 3000+ (400FSB version). When i boot the system it just stays black, i get no beep or anything on the monitor. This mobo has a CBOX LED display for errors and it displays FF* . I swapped video cards to no avail. I tried two dif mem sticks in all 3 dimm slots with no success. I even tried to swap in at xp1600+ CPU all with the same results. now, i also tried to put the 3000+ in a Shuttle AK32 ( http://www.active-hardware.com/engli...board/ak32.htm ) and also when i try to boot this up i just get a black screen as well -- but is this bc the AK32 is too old for the 400sb 3000+?? If so, i assume the Chaintech is DOA -- any help is appreciated thanks in advance guys

FF on the led display refers to the follow error codes
1. Incorrect BIOS Versions (i have the shipped bios installed, i just got the mobo today)
2. Add on cards inserted incorrectly (I tried two diferent agp video cards, im sure they were in there correctly.
3. BIOS Chip inserted incorrectly (I never touched it, it looks correct)
4. Motherboard problem (no sh!t) :D
