[SOLVED] Asus p6t will not boot please help

Hello everyone,

I just got my parts and built it and I have tried to turn it on, at first everything seemed to turn on. Black screen though. So I turn it off and tried to reseat the GPU and tried again.

This time it wouldn't turn on but the Power button and the reset button were illuminated.

I tried to clear the cmos and reset the jumper.

Is my motherboard defective?

Any one know any solution?

My ram is in the orange dimms.

My parts are:

thanks to whoever helps me out

Update:

After doing everything again, I unscrewed the mobo out and did the Jumper trick by moving the pin and taking the cmos battery out for longer then 30 seconds and when I put the mobo in I made sure that the screws were not over tightened.

That fixed it and now I'm posting.

But my video card is dead

Thanks

Nothing has been solved for me. I have done everything, in every solution and trouble shooting steps. I even pulled out the mobo, and cleared the cmos. Updated the bios to 1403 and still no post. The odd thing is. It is like it froze my USB ports. Unless I remove the power. Even with the computer off my other keyboards will stay lit up. Even another type of illuminated keyboard. I can power off the system, unplug the keyboard, and when I plug it back in..it lights back up. Like it was never removed.

Hi I feel your pain as the same thing happened to me.

Can't help you with the video card, but my Mobo died in the same way and I was only able to reset the cmos with the battery out and using the jumpers, which thankfully worked.

So thought I would add my tale of woe just incase others have the same problem.

Not sure if it was a once off but I'd be interested to see how this forum pans out to see if it is a known fault.

btw I was installing a scanner driver at the time so not sure if that had anything to do with it

Cheers

I'm having the same issue as this guy was but I can't seem to fix it. It was working fine. I went to the kitchen, came back and the screen was black. When I boot and enter setup it randomly decides to show my drives, or not.
