hello all

i recently tried building a new server. upon boot the fans would spin for 2-3 seconds then stop. no beep etc. i tried all cables, psu, ram sticks etc. nothing helped. i thought it was the motherboard so bought a different one.

now my new build wont power on at all. the psu works (i have checked that on another motherboard)

my pc is

amd a300 apu
asrock fm2a88x-itx+ motherboard
2x4gb of corsair ram
Seidon 120v cooler
cfi a7879 case

any ideas? could it be my cpu?

thanks
eddie
