thanks in advance :]

 

Have you checked all the connections? Is the motherboard grounding on anything? Tried with just the bare minimum - i.e. one stick of RAM etc?

Do you get any error codes or beeps from the motherboard?

 

been trying it with just the bare minimum, haven't recived any beens or signals and im pretty sure the speaker is connected properly....

only thing i need to check is weather it's grounding on anything :O

I think I will take it out of the case and place it on some carboard for a tester....

Any other suggestions

and thanks

 

Only to rechect all conections.
BTW are you using a monitor or an lcd?
My mb was set to monitor so when i conected to lcd i saw absolutly nothing.

 

Dont lie the motherboard on an antistatic bag. Most think this will give protection, but in fact, the outside of a anti-static bag is conductive, and using it as a mat to lie the board on when powered up can, and indeed probably will, short something out.

 

just tried it layout on a wooden desktop, still frantically trying no luck.

someone PLEAAASEEE HELP!

 

The reason why you aren't getting any beeps is because you are running bare minimum. Get the PC speaker out of a case and put it on the board.

 

cheers will try, i kinda ignored that i think as my dfi's got an onboard one, need to hunt one down, also the light stays green so i assumed it was oook lol just dead something?

 

It depends on the beeping, have you tried a new graphics card?

 

tried a different gfx card and theres no beeps!

help it's been ages :/

 

I've got an idea... Check to see if the 12V voltage connector is actuall connected. I once had the same problem as you, and replaced everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Then I had one last look before I started tearing my hair out, to find that I failed to connect the 12V voltage connector to the motherboard.

 

checked the 12v :]

might try a complete power supply, re sit cpu then a few desperate ideas...

then im going to rma the motherboard? as this is a joke :/

 

dont suppose u have a pci GFX card u can try...? paybe its ur PCI-e port?

 

I had the same thing a couple of weeks back when biulding my E6600, I hadn't connected the ATX_12V plug the the motherboard - thought it was only needed for the GCard, search of the net put me right
