I have an AMD 3500+ Venice on an Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra motherboard. For those of you who don't know this board, it has 3 onboard LEDs that indicate what parts of the board are working correctly and an 80 Port debug 7-segment LED display that provides booting up information. Well, when I press the power button, only the RAM LED lights up, while the CPU and the chipset LEDs do not; the debug LED does not activate at all either. The system fans all spin slightly once the power button is pressed before stopping as well.
My first thought was that my power supply had gone bad, but if that were true, I wouldn't be getting even the RAM LED and the slight fan spin, right? I haven't pulled out the CPU yet to see if it looks burned or damaged at all (I'm not an overclocker, BTW), but since the chipset LED is also out, I'm focused on the motherboard being the source of the problems.
Any ideas? I've had this system a little less than 6 months.
