Computer Wont Start...

[SingaBoiy]

I was trying to reset the pass for the BIOS and a website told me that i had to unplug and plug in the jumpers. I think i unplugged the wrong things and now my computer wont even start up. I put them back where i found them but it still wont work. Maybe you guys can help me out.

Yep, just post a picture of your mptherboard, showing all the jumpers clearly, and give us the model and revision that it is so we can download the manual.
That way we may have enough information to help.

I cant find a pic of my motherboard and I cant find anything that says what model number and stuff it is. All I know is that its an MSI Mainboard thats designed for AMD processors. The processor speed is 1 ghz if that helps. I dont have any other info on it. :unsure:

EDIT: I found the model # but MSI doesnt even have it on their site :blink: . It is MS 6378 if you can find any info on it...

try lookin in ur manual, usally they say were the jumpers and shit go

No, it doesn't help.

We need to know exactly how your jumpers are set so we need a picture of YOUR motherboard, not a picture of what it looks like from the manufacturer's site otherwise we aren't going to know which jumpers may need changing.
This will mean opening your case, photographing it and putting the pic online for us to see. It'll need to be something like THIS (http://www.motherboards.org/images/15/2002/1211_p1_1.jpg) for us to have a good enough look at your jumpers.

I've found in the past with MSI boards that the model number is printed between the PCI slots like on this 85EPT Pro:

Well, you could check for the revision (version) number between the PCI slots, download the right manual, then check your jumpers/connections against what it says in there - I downloaded the v3.1 manual and all the jumpers and connections are listed OK.

Ok thanks, I'll check it out.

I figured it out... when i plugged the cables in for the Reset and the Power buttons, i put them in backwards. So that when i hit the reset button it would turn it on. Pretty funny trick to pull on someone :P .

Glad you sorted it and glad you're honest about mistakes!
