I have this mother board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130491
Just purchased, with corsair value select ram
two 512 sticks
and an AMD 3500+ Venice 64 bit.
Its all retail.
I install everything as usual(Ive built computers before at home)
then I get all fans on, power... but no POST.
No video...
The one thing I can think of is I am using a 350 watt PSU... a powmagic or something cheap -
the same model has failed on me on other occasions. This one was working though in another older computer...
So since this symptom has happened before, what is the problem most likely?
I seated the CPU nice and easy and locked it in, and the heatsink, while a little difficult to get on, went on fine...
it tilted a little but that wasnt really with any pressure.
I heard the motherboard flex a little but nothing cracking really.
I really want to say its the power supply so I am going to try a trupower higher watt one tomorrow...
What else could it be? DOA CPU?
the ethernet light comes on,
I tried just one stick of ram, and different combos...
Reseated the bios battery, flashed the bios...
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks all...
