P4C800 Deluxe doesn't Post
I bought a P4C800 Deluxe, the problem is that when I power it up the system
doesn't POST. What I have installed at the moment is: - ATX Case with a 300W power suply unit - P4C800 Deluxe - P4 at 3GHZ 800 FSB - DVD drive - CDRW Drive - 2 PC3200 512MB DIMMs in the 2 blue banks - GeForce FX5700 Ultra When I press the power button, it powers up everything in the box: CPU cooler, CD/DVD Drives, even the little green led in the board lights up, but the monitor doesn't turn on and there is no POST beep messages. I followed every step in the manuals. What can it be failing here? Thanks, Ricardo |

The card booted fine with one of them installed, but with both at the same time it behaved exactly as you describe. regards, Jan -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jan Eri ~~ Protector AS ~~ Norway Work: http://www.protector.no/ Priv: http://janeri.com/ |

Yup... done that, same behavior.
I've been reading some posts in support forums, I think the problem might be the PSU... it's only 300W... "Jan Eri" wrote in message news:HpnGHtlM4mBI-pn2-xZBor0fn3qVE@localhost...

Make sure the connectors for power supply/reset and the corresponding LEDS
are hooked up correctly to the board. "RCA" wrote in message ... I bought a P4C800 Deluxe, the problem is that when I power it up the system doesn't POST.

Yup...Possibly the power supply...although a 300 should allow you to boot.
did you try a different video card? If it still does not boot after changing cases or the PS - or the Video card, look at the RAM. If you invest in a 800FSB board, the worst thing you can do is use cheaper generic RAM. If it is the 'no-name' variety, try to return it and upgrade it to a brand name that ASUS supports - (Kingston, Crucial, OCZ, Corsair etc..) I've seen many RAM related problems caused by mis-matched, poor quality and less expensive RAM. JT.. "RCA" wrote in message ... Yup... done that, same behavior.

found that the AGP slot with a long video card has to be finessed to clear
the memory lockdown tabs. I initially had the same problem and found that the video card was not seated completely due to the above mentioned interference. "John Tindle" wrote in message ...
