Hey,

I just put together my new A7N8X-E Deluxe machine, but it doesn't power up
when I turn it on.

The MB has a green light on, the cpu and fans starts, the usb ports has
power, but I get no signal or boot up nor sound (beeps or post message).

I've tried checking and changing gfx card, but this doesn't help.

What could be wrong ?

More details are:

XP 3200+ (400 mhz) (new)

From my old AN78X-DLX board

512 mb ram Samsung (pc3200,400mhz)
Sapphire Radeon 9500 pro.

regards
jorgen

Connect speakers in the speaker output of the motherboard. The A7N8X-E
has vocal POST messages, maybe it'll tell you what's wrong.
 
Be sure there is not a jumper shorting out the Bios. Many motherboards come
with one that must be removed before it will power up.
 
unplug the power cord..reset the CMOS and check to make sure you have the
heatsink on the right way.
 
can you be a bit more specific on this one ?

do you mean the jumper on CMOS ?

I tried clearing the CMOS..

The heatsink is on the right way (I assume it impossible to have it the
wrong way?)..

not really..I have seen them on backwards before . You have to make sure
that the lip on HS is in the right position.Isnt there also a jumper by the
CPU for FSB of 200?..maybe check that one.do the fans spin fully or just
spin over and stop?
 
Jorgen,
Same thing happened to me. Took me a while, but I found an extra brass
standoff underneath the motherboard. It was apparently shorting a circuit
trace to the case and causing the problem.
