No Bios at Start up, Please Help!!!!

Last response: in Systems

Just got finished assembling my first new build. Motherboard light is giving me a green, PSU working well, Fans in case and on mobo are all fired up, but I get no Bios option when booting up. Is there a possibility my Ram is not compatible with my motherboard and would this be giving me this type of Error?

I bought a P5N32-E SLI Asus Mobo.

Memory is Corsair 4GB TWIN2X5096-6400C5DHX G.

I do not see my mobo being supported on this particular piece of Ram when I go to Corsair's website. I am thinking this is the error, or a bad CPU.

These are my only two guesses....please help!

Thanks in advance!

Try only one stick of ram until you get the thing running. If one dont work try another and try different slots.

Do you hear any beeps?

If it boots on one stick of ram you will need to set the ram defaults manually in the bios. It probably isnt giving it enough volts on default.

I hear no beeps, and I don't even see on the Mobo any type of onboard speaker. It has an audio card that it came with that I will try to plug speakers into, but up to now I have not heard a single beep....not to mention the Keyboard isn't even registering and I get no BIOS menu.

Not sure if it's the CPU, the Ram, or just something I didn't connect correctly?

Did you retry with only one stick of ram and try each one seperate?
Each time you change something shut the psu off then back on.

Does your case have any wires labled speaker on them?

Or did your mobo come with a little black round speaker?

Youll need to get one. There has to be a spot on the mobo to plug a tiny speaker into.Usually Asus sends a speaker in the box. And all the cases I ever bought have had them.

Do you got the 20/24 pin and the 4 pin atx connectors plugged in?

You try the ram idea yet?

I tried the RAM idea, not the issue it seems. I *think* I have the 20/24 Connector plugged in...I do see at the upper left corner of the Mobo there is something that says *12V ATX* That I have nothing plugged in to, could this be the problem?

That is CERTAINLY the problem. Get something in htere

I plugged them in with the 8 pin, now my Keyboard is recognized, but I'm still not getting anything booting up on my monitor. Still no Bios Option, and I read the manual clean through...no speaker, and I don't see anyplace on the board for a speaker to be placed. Do you think I should contact Asus support at this point?

lol, I have a Duo Core, Pentium 3G's. Next question.....BIOS tells me my fan is running too slow, but it shows the Temp in the Bios Menu of 29 C. Should I be concerned about this error? I have a mean after market fan, and it seems to be doing the job.

Thanks

Yeah, says it's running too slow. I'm running the E6850 I believe is the model. Should I disable this warning in the Bios menu? Of course the CPU may heat up once I start installing and running more software.....

If you dont mind the noise you can turn C1E and EIST off and i think its usually speedfan or something off which will make you CPU run at full speed all the time and fan run full speed all the time this will stop the fan errors also

I am doing XP (Better benchmarks for Gaming right now from what I hear) 32 Bit OS, and I have 2 HD's - One Raptor 74 Gigs, and one Western Dig, 320 Gigs for Storage. I'm installing XP now, wish me luck!
