After living life happy with a PC I decided that it was time to try an Apple. I figured they make a great phone and all. So I bought a used one. I will explain in great detail as to what is going on. I am missing a small piece of the puzzle and hope that you the reader can help me understand.
I have a Mac Pro G5 dual 2.5 ghz processors.
120 GB hard drive
2 GB ram
I know that these units had water coolant leaks and caused issues. This one was no different. I had the red warning light on the systemboard saying that one of the processors was bad. I purchased 2 new 2.5Ghz processors which came with a new heatsink. I installed them into the computer. Before I did that this computer did nothing. This is what I get now. The computer fires up, meaning I can hear the fans spin. I hear the hard drive spin. The power light lights up for a second and then turns off. There is NO startup chime and NO video. I have tried a replacement video card but that didn't fix the problem. I have reseated the ram repeatedly and that doesn't fix the problem. I am sure that it is something very easy that I am overlooking. I would love to get this unit running.
