Title: HELP!! New computer won't post
Post by: heretic on March 06, 2006, 01:55:53 PM

I just build a brand new PC, and I can't get it to boot. The monitor receives no signal and there are no beeps when I turn it on. When I press the power button all the fans turn on and I hear everything start running except the CD/DVD drive and floppy. I've double checked all the wires and nothings wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

hey whats up, sounds like you wanted to go all out as did I. Like you, I bought the a8n-sli thinking asus is the best.... Check out the reviews on Newegg, or anywhere for that matter, about your mobo, there lies your answer!

do you have all 3 power plugs hooked up? plus the two on the 7800? just an idea... mine at least beeps! :(

Ya all the wires are correct, I did some more testing and I think my MB is just DOA

Just out of curiosity... what type of testing did you do to confirm it's DOA?  Other than the fact that the board has a ton of bad reviews... :)  Sometimes those symptoms are due to a bad memory module.  Have you reseated the memory?  Tried booting with only one?  Let us know what you did.
