hey guys just yesterday i setup this new system and the first time i powered it on it runs a bit (but no beep or anydisplay on the screen) then the motherboard starts to make like an alarm until i have to turnoff the switch.
My setup is the Epox 8k5a2+ board, 256mb corsair xms pc 2700 cas 2, and an AMD xp 2400+.
i am wondering if i installed the thermal compound wrong because i rubbed it all over the top of the chip even where u see the L1 and L2 things. is that ok?
anyway after i take out the cpu and just turn on the motherboard
it does not shutdown and start to alarm.
the only POST code i could remember seeing was like C3.
