OK so I stripped everything but the CPU, RAM and video card., still nothing. I tried a diff video card and still got nothing as well. I verified that the CPU fan is plugged into the correct pins on the mobo. I do have have the internal speaker hooked up and am getting nada from it. All pins appear to be in good condition & I have been grounded the whole time I have been working on it. I don't have the tool to test the CPU temp, I always check the BIOS or mobo monitor for CPU temps.
Sounds bad to me, has to be one or all of the parts you fired up last, I would now try tech support with NewEgg.
You think newegg tech support before I try Asus tech support?
Yeah. Try the support of the people you bought from first.
When they hit the wall,
then you try the MoBo people.
As it's a NEW unit, no matter what the hassle:
RETURN IT, as soon as the support team falters, always good for an extra hard last gasp from the supplier. :)
OK I will do that, thanks for the help guys
Please let us know what you find from this experience. It might help us to know how these people/businesses treat you when it comes time for one of us (namely me :D ) to do a major upgrade. I too have been looking into that processer for my next upgrade, I am still undecided on the mobo I will use, Asus was on the top of my list next to Soyo.
Luck to you, and Yes, please tell us what happened and how it was resolved - I'm always up for learning more.
Blow out the slots and reseat the RAM....9 seconds puts you in the realm of RAM testing, so I'd give that a closer look...could be incompatable or faulty for that matter.
I agree totally that its probably the cpu overheating but I would also just have mobo,video,ram, and cpu and not even plug in the hdd and make sure only the power is plugged into mobo, and then if it still does it I would say defective ram even if it is brand new it happens once in awhile. :D
:bigsmile: ooops I meant defective cpu not ram. I'm sorry
