Hi All,
Doing a build for a buddy and having an awful time. Tested initially before adding any drives and all fans spin up for 1 second and power off
Parts
Asus P5G41T-M LX Socket 775 (first mobo)
Asus P5G41T-M/CSM (second mobo - exact same issue)
G.SKILL NQ Series DDR3 1333MHz (PC3-10666) 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel Kit (F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ)
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5800 Socket LGA775, 3.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache, 45nm (Retail Box) (BX80571E5800)
Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 430 Watt 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply (CMPSU-430CXV2)
and/or Corsair Builder Series CX500 V2 500 Watt 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply (CMPSU-500CXV2)
Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Mid Tower Case (VL80001W2Z)
on the first motherboard after it wouldnt post I pulled the motherboard out and ran it on its cardboard box to rule out shorting from the case. Same issue. Then pulled all extra cables and ran basic with just power switch, no case fan, only CPU/heatsink-fan and PSU (both 24 pin and 4 pin connected)
Tested both power supplies on another PC and worked. Also tested plugging above build into other power outlets. Same issue.
Pulled memory and ran 1 stick and also ran with no RAM (not sure if this MOBO will post without RAM and I havent been able to confirm or deny that)
Figured based on above issue was with MOBO so returned and picked up the other one noted above. Installed in case and same issue.
Went through steps above and same issue. Connected case power switch wire to other PC to confirm that worked and was able to power up other PC.
At this point the only thing I can think of is CPU/Fan which I think is rare (although this whole situation seems rare) or the RAM
I had my buddy return the CPU and grab another one and also picked up a different type of RAM (closest match to QVL list on Asus site
Anyone have any other ideas I may have missed?
