I just finished putting together a new computer. Its a K6-2 400 with a voodoo 3 3000 video card. When I tried to start it for the first time, i put in the floppy boot disk that came with windows and started it up, but nothing happened. Everything seems to be plugged in correctly, the power light went on, i heard the hard drive start spinning, all the fans were going, the monitor was on, but nothing came on the screen. I turned it on and off many times, and several times i got a message that said something like voodoo 3 bios with some other info about the video card underneath with a flashing cursor; but i couldnt do anything. I thought i was supposed to get the message that says which key to press to get into the bios or the windows installation menu, but most of the time i get absolutely nothing. Its an AGP video card so i thought maybe there might be some kind of conflict with that. Also, i noticed the light on the floppy drive never comes on at all. So, one of my main questions is, if the floppy drive wasnt working should i still see something come up on the screen when i start it?? What should i do to fix this? Would it make a difference if i tried a PCI video card??
Thank you VERY much for any help you could provide!!!
