Hi all,

My problem: my computer doesnt post

I have tried my 2 x 512mb PC2700 onto another computer and it worked fine.
I have tried a different Processor on it which works but didnt.
I tried a different Graphics card which is new which didnt work.

I think its my motherboard.

Any help appricated.

Will
