This is probably about my 10th system. I don't know all there is to know, but i certainly know what i'm doing. Got nothing but CPU (Duron 800) and RAM (256MB NEC PC133) plugged into the motherboard. It's an integrated board, so video is built in. ATX power connector plugged up and power switch in place. Power cord plugged into outlet and power supply. Monitor cable plugged into video out on mobo and monitor turned on.
When i hit the power switch the p/s fan and cpu fan whirr into life, but NOTHING else happens. I tried plugging the case speaker in, no beeps. NOTHING appears on monitor. I can't turn it off with power switch, even holding it down for ten seconds. I have to turn it off with the hard switch on the p/s.
I changed out the cpu and ram with known good components and exact same result. I have unquestionably isolated this to the motherboard. Any ideas?
Anyone used this board and know of some setting i've overlooked? I've played around with all the jumpers, including clearing the CMOS several times. I'm at a loss and under a time limit.
I tried emailing ASUS tech support but recieved a form letter in return (in broken English no less) that made it obvious the guy hadn't even read my email. The reseller i purchased the board from doesn't answer the phone, and they're located across the country from me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
