(So this isnt completely about just video hardware, but I need help! so)

Start putting it together (after some HORRIBLE jumper instructions), got it together, went to turn it on...

*Click... Click... Click...*

Doesnt work, I'm totally confused, I check connections, wires, everything still.

*Click... Click... Click...*

So I take out the processor to see if it's the problem... Sure enough take the cpu out, and.

*Computer start up noise*

Any clue? I've fiddled around with it, but I still just get a *Click* with the cpu in, and it starts up without it in.

Any ideas?

The motherboard supports a 333fsb Amd Athlon XP processor.

did you set the BIOS correctly?

I perfer to build stuff myself, that way if anything fucks up I have the insane satisfaction of knowing I fucked it up.

And no. The computer wouldnt even turn on with the processor in it.

when newegg made me get a new motherboard (read my journal for explanation: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... mid=153772 ) I forgot to get one with a built in videoadapter, so I'm having to buy a new videocard... Not so bad.

But I know it ATLEAST turns on without the processer in it.

If inserting the CPU is preventing the system from powering up, it's a damn good bet that your CPU is totally FUBAR.

Newegg has rarely let me down.
