PC not booting..

[darwesh]

Hi,

I have bought recently a motherboard and and after I installed all components on it, and powered on, nothing happened. No beep, No display. I examined that CPU was cold as there is no sign of power in it. Also whenever I power on the board with CPU installed, PSU starts randomly on and off automatically, and when I power on only motherboard without CPU, the PSU works fine (i.e no on off). Any idea what is the problem?? Is the motherboard or CPU dead..

P.S. I have checked each and every possible thing like jumper settings, change PSU, RAM etc.. but not CPU as I have only the one.

System specs..

CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ windsor
Motherboard XFX Geforce 8200

My best bet is on the Motherboard, did you try to do a BOIS update? Try another CPU if you have a spare one, I had the same prob on a Sapphire 790fx MOBO and a 9950 BE CPU. The PSU Switched on then off again, then i used a 6200x2 CPU Updated the BIOS and all was gtg!!! Goodluck
