New Computer Build ASUS A7N8X mobo, AGP Problems

Could be power.... as far as I know, the new Geforce cards suck some serious juice.

Yeah, I was worried about that.
However, I have taken all power off the other components except the motherboard and still no improvement.

Are you sure its the AGP card?, have u tried another?

Dont know what stuff u got but corsair LL memory in combination with a7n8x < rev 1.06 can behave like that.

OMG I bet I'm seeing a dozen guys a week with this problem now! Why the sudden increase, I have no idea!

The answer is obvious if you took time to read the first post in this forum, a circuit on the back of your motherboard is being grounded by a misplaced mounting post.

You see, when you first plug in most computers, the fan will spin for 1 second (roughly). Then the only way to power it on is to use the power button. I assume you have the power button connected to the power button plug on the board, right? And if nothing happens after that, 90% of the time it's because your board is grounded.

Now, that leaves a 10% chance of me being wrong. If I were a gambling man, such odds would be oh so sweet!

Does the 5200 have an external power connection so you can connect it to the power supply like the FX 5900 and the R9700 and the 9800's? If it does, did you remember to connect it?

This problem can also happen if you do not have a strong enough power supply. I would say that you should have at least a 350W.
