A7N8X-Deluxe - No Post
I just bought an A7N8X-Deluxe. In the process of switching the CPU into it
from another board, I stupidly reversed the fan and ruined the CPU. However, I am very afraid that I may also have damaged the board, because I get no beep when power is applied. As I understand it, there should also be a voice message, but I get no sound either. Is this to be expected with a bad CPU, or have I ruined two pieces of hardware?? |

Unplug the cord from the computer, swap the CMOS jumper, pull the CMOS battery for 5-10 seconds, then reverse procedure. With a good CPU and HSF, the system should boot. For the voice message, you will need to have speakers connected to the sound output (it won't work thru the cheesy onboard speaker). HTH |

HTH I'm sorry, but I didn't metion that I had already tried to clear CMOS, with no luck. What I am trying to determine, if someone knows, is if the CPU is known to be bad, should there be any "beep" (s) when power is applied? I don't have immediate acces to a known good CPU. That may be the only way I can tell the status of the board. |

What I am trying to determine, if someone knows, is if the CPU is
known to be bad, should there be any "beep" (s) when power is applied? I could be wrong, but I recall that the only thing the computer did is say "no CPU" when it booted without a CPU - I don't recall it beeping. I'd remove the CPU and put a speaker on the audio outputs. - Mark |

You may be thinking that I electrically reversed my fan - I wasn't clear - I mechanically reversed the fan. Apparently it cracked the die?? |

I had the same problem! no boot at al and different messages from the
speaker; no cpu or no memory. Problem was that the fans connected to the motherboard weren"t rotating at the right speed. Wrote a ail to asus and this is the answer: Dear Customer : Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service. My name is jacky ma , and I would be assisting you today. our bios will decide the cpu fan is bad when it 's speed is less than 2600rpm. beacuse the chassis fan and power fan 's power is same managed in bios,and that you adjust the speed on fan via power supply. so ,they will at the same time change. I adjusted the fans to 2200 rpm and then my A7N8X-deluxe2.0 starts up! "Paul WH" schreef in bericht news:F5Ovb.208376$9E1.1118922@attbi_s52...
