Re: OT - Need Some PC Advice
I doubt this but could this be an over heat issue with the CPU? Perhaps I didn't put enough thermal Jell on? I doubt it as I used a pea size drop as instructed on the back of the Jell container.
I pulled the power to the video card and tried to start the PC, I got a loud non interrupted tone from the board. So ya, the speaker is working.
I re-read the instruction and I do have both the 24 pin and 8 pin power plugs plugged in. I did the ASUS power requirements thingy too and my PSU is fine for this system.
I ran the system from the BUPS as well as directly from the wall socket. No joy either way.
I pulled the new memory and used on of the Mushkin 512 800mhz memory dims. No joy. Tried both, still no joy.
I pulled the CMOS battery, no joy.
I disconnected the HDD, CDRom, DVDRom and tried, no joy.
Swapped out the 8800 GT with a 9800 GT, no joy. (So much for $115.00)
This board is just bad. ASUS sent me a broken board. Those mother****ers! I mean that too. They are MFkers!
