I am building my own system and just bought off of pricewatch an ASUS A7V mobo, AMD 900 athalon, and generic 128 mb of pc133 and bought a new tower with 250 w power supply from a local vendor. Well imagine my suprise to put it all together and it won't boot. It would power up the fan on the CPU and power led and then shut right down. THere was none of the diagnostic beeps. I checked the connections plenty of times and found nothing wrong. I tried the cpu on another board and it worked. I tried the memory on another board and it worked. I tried both on the other board and they worked together. I tried putting the motherboard on a anticonductive surface to see if some how it was grounded and still didn't work. I tried teh power supply and vid card all work but they don't work together. I had to come to the conclusion that it was the motherboard and sent it back.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Was there somthing else I should have tried?
