redsnail,
If you can get the computer to boot without all the hardware in it, try to get into the BIOS. (When the computer starts up, use the Delete Key to enter the BIOS.) One thing I always do is
Disable the option
Full Screen Logo Show. That will let you see what is going on while the computer posts. (It is on page 3-8 of the Motherboard Manual.)
If you can make it to the BIOS without all the hardware hooked up, then your problem is with one of the pieces of hardware you disconnected.
If you get it the BIOS, then shut down again and try this configuration:
Connect the Floppy Drive to the Floppy Controller
Set the Hard Drive jumper as Master and put it on the end of the ribbon on the Primary Controller.
Set the CD Burner jumper as Master and put it on the end of the ribbon on the Secondary Controller.
Leave all PCI Cards out of the computer.
Let me know what happens with FrankenComp.
Take Care,
Richard
