I have everything unplugged on the board, the only thing that is plugged in is the Video Card, Memory and CPU and the PW Switch cable to the case. (and fans)

I turn the PC on and all Phase LEDS come on. No Beeps, no Noise, No Display, No Keyboard Init, all fans are running fine, wait 30 seconds and then it shuts off and turns back on again.

It is on the latest Bios F10 and I did not change any BIOS settings for OC or OP or anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like either a PSU issue, or a grounding issue.

take your MB out of the case, assemble it on the MB box/AS bag (1 DVD, Vid, ect). Use a slotted screwdriver to "jump" the power pins on the MB. If it boots, you have a grounding issue. If no boot, possible PSU issue.

make sure you plug the 20/24 pin power connector into the mobo as well as the 4/8 pin power connector (which should be located around the cpu slot).

I'd also try one stick of RAM at a time, see if one might be defunct...

I did the out of case test and it still did the same thing. I am buying a new power supply and it should be here tomorrow. The other question I have is what would be the best stable memory to buy for this board?

I've heard that Gb boards, in general, 'like' Mushkin RAM. Not to say others' WON"T work, just that Mushkins seem to take less fiddling with, and if you ARE willing to fiddle, might OC better.

Do you have both of the power connectors plugged in like i said?

If so then do the following:
1. Clear the CMOS
2. Assemble outside of the case
3. Assemble with only 1 DIMM of ram, cpu and video card. Leave everything else such as HDD, CD drives, case fans etc unplugged

If that doesn't do anything post back here so we can help identify what your problem is

Also for you ram, what is the rated voltage of it? It may not be getting enough voltage due to the fact that most boards by default give the ram 1.8. If your ram requires 2.0~2.1v, then you may have to get / borrow someones ram so you can get into the bios and manually change the voltage up to what it should be

I had all power plugged in, board was on top of the MB box with the AS bag, 2 sticks of ram, video card.

It did the same thing.


Just in case I ordered mushkin memory DDR2-800 and a new power supply. They should arrive tomorrow so I can then do more testing.
