Asus A8N Deluxe will not post!

[ME]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

I purchased a ASUS A8n Deluxe mobo and it will not post, no video no
audio, no nothing. The green light on the motherboard comes on, and it
will respond to the power switch, the fans on the mobo and the video
card spin up, the three lights on the keyboard flash, but that's it.
It will also respond to the power switch if I hold it on for 4
seconds, and act like it goes to sleep, I.E. the power light on the
case goes out, but nothing else on the board changes, the fans stay
running. I have to phsically turn off the power to get the fans to
stop.

I have swapped the ram around a little, tried using one bank,
and nothing seems to make any differnece to it.

I am thinking ov taking it back to Frys and swapping it out.

Oh yeah I also swapped out the original power supply a 275 watter,
for a 400 watter.

Asus A8N deluxe
AMD 3200+ socket 939
Corsair twinx1024 3200C2PT ram (2 x 512)
Seagate SATA 160 hard drive
Plextor SATA 716 DVD
Leadtek PX6600TD 128 meg vid card

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

It's embarrassing to admit but when my A8N-Premium wouldn't post I
discovered it was because I hadn't connected the 4-pin ATX connector to
the Mobo. For some foolish newbie reason, I thought that connector was
only for Intel boards and not AMD.......................

I tried it, no luck, it still just sits there, no beeps, no video,
nothing...

I tried to move the ram around, two banks in A1 and B1,
one bank in B1, one bank in A1, no difference...

I guess that I will take it back to Fry's and get another one...

You should get some beeps ... maybe you ave not attached somehting ...maybe
the manual might help to see what you may not have installed.
I suppose you've tried reseating your video card and made sure the video
cable is plugged in firmly to your monitor.

No, the Molex (at a right angle, just above PCI-X slot one) connector on the
board is for when you are running in SLI mode.

Scott was talking about the 4-pin ATX connector at the top left of the board
(in line with the mouse input)
