Boot Failure - HELP pls!

[Gabor]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard and a Pentium 4C 3.2Ghz FSB 800, both are brand new.

I have a boot failure: when the computer starts, with only the motherboard, the CPU and the power supply unit, the motherboard gives the following POST message: SYSTEM FAILED CPU TEST. The failure happens as well with all the other components attached (DDR memory, hard-drive, etc...).

I have checked if the CPU was correctly installed, and it is.

Could the motherboard have a problem? Or the CPU?

Thanks for any help!

Gab

ok, my bad... everything is working fine.

Asus support was great (http://helpdesk.asus.com/logon.asp), got an answer in the next hour or so.

Cheers,

Don't leave us hanging!

What was the cause? What was the fix?

Since you asked, phsstpok...

I actually forgot to, *cough*, plug the 12V connection to the mobo. Yeah, I know.

But I had the sun in my eyes when I assembled the parts!!!

Chers,
