Help Please !!!!

Just a bit of useless info. Check the USB ports, esp. the front ports, that they are not shorted out. I had the same problem a while back....cost me buying 2 new PSU's, and a new motherboard, before I saw that one port had shorted out.

tried without the front USB's connected and still no POST.:(

What about the jumper on the mobo? I built my ancient pc a few years ago... didnt start up initially until i found that the default jumpers on the mobo were not correct.

all jumpers are in their default position, as described in the mobo manual ... checked !

My mobo fried by lightning 1 week ago, and it had the same symptom as what you descripted. Power on, NO BEEP, only CPU and PSU FAN turns.......

My one was "out-the-box" and has not been touched before yesterday ... so I wouldn't mind getting a warranty replacement, but there seems to be no sure fire way of testing the damn thing, it could be a dud CPU too ??? :confused::(
 
You can just as well throw that system out of the window.

You screwed up big time :-(

Are you sure you released the static before you touched the MB?

Have you tried both the DVI and VGA ports for display?

I do not have a DVI display.

But also I do not see the point if I don't even get a POST with only the mobo, CPU and RAM connected.

Sheesh man.

OK, so let's get this straight: you've got everything hooked up and make sure all the cables and jumpers are fine. The one PSU fans spins, the CPU fan spins, the LED lights are on (which LEDs BTW?) but there's no beeps at all to confirm that the board posts and there's also no display on the monitor. Right?

That's it !

The mobo LED is on (all the time - as long as there is power), the keyboard led's light up on start-up (if keyboard plugged in obviously)

STUPID QUESTION: where is the speaker that emits this beep ?

By this time i trust that he had rtfm to see of all jumper settings are as they should be...(as i asked before here no bios reset/sleep jumper)

What could be tried also is to add the components (and pc speaker is conencted) one at time to see if there is a beep ea: just cpu beep, then ram beep and so on if it does not beep with just the cpu in then mobo/ cpu issue, if not with cpu and ram then ram and so on.

Have a anti static bed for the Motherboard, place it on it and connect only the psu, cpu, ram if it starts and Beep once for post complete then its a short in the case

Looking at the manual there is a speaker connector in the system panel connectors - plug speaker in there.

If it is giving the normal keyboard lights as if it is booting it might just be that you are using the wrong display connector.

Seconded, maybe yr speaker is incorrectly plugges in and yr post goes thru without indication, which brings us to the no display issue. However, if u're running the onboard graphics then that rules my theory out...
I still say then "motherboard shot...
 
ok ... don't know what changed from just a little while ago but I now have beeps. Giggled the speaker a bit and now get beeps so probably a loose connection there.

So far:

- With only CPU I got one long beep and two shorts
- added RAM to the slots = silence
- added the other RAM to slots and got what sounded like the correct thing, one beep after about 2-3 secs.

Gonna try add the other RAM (that produced no sound) and see what happens.
