The motherboard will boot for 3 seconds then shutdown. Occasionally
the CPU, thermal grease and heat sink will be too hot to touch once it's
on for 30 seconds and no activity. Power supply is 300W with default
jumper setting set at 100 MHz (CPU frequency.) All hardware are
handled carefully using a grounding strap. Also ran it outside the case
and reset the BOIS. A second attempt to supply power results in no
power at all. Tried a second ATX power supply and nothing. Tried
removing everything except a hard drive, memory and nothing happens.
The front switch works since pushing the button or shorting it will usually
turn it on for 3 seconds. Now nothing will turn on, regardless of the button,
unless it rests for half an hour or so.
I checked the manual and it says to use PC2100/1600 DDR 333/400
MHz. I have PC3200 DDR 400MHz installed since it was selected by
the sales person at Fry's. I will get a new stick of RAM at another
retailer and post the results. Could it likely be something else?
Thanks
