the system went off in the middle of the installation process. now when i start the machine, the fans work, hdd works, cd drive works but i don't get any display and no POST,i.e., i'm not getting the single beep on boot. the hdd activity led stays constantly on. indicates some problem with bios. does it has to do anything with the fact that i changed the cmos battery while the system was down?
Check your processor and then MB if your processor works well on another MB. Cross check is the best way to narrow down the posibilities. Remove your processor and refit the assembly, maybe contact problems. This does not have anything to do with software installation.
as per my observations and experiance some cabinets have this problem ..when you remove the board from cabinet and test it it works fine but as soon as u fix it in the cabinet display goes off .... don't know the reason behind it ... just try this
