#16 | I've got the board on the box it came in. Plugged in 1 stick of RAM, the power, the power switch, and the Monitor through a DVI plug. Power comes on. Nothing goes to monitor, and there are no beeps. What I thought were beeps were just sounds from the case. I plugged the speaker into the motherboard and there is nothing from it.
The monitor is plugged in and turned on.
I don't understand this at all, really. This should work, but I'm getting nothing. | | Junior Member with 10 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#18 | are you getting one long beep - that would be normal - to show the bios has past all tests | | Junior Member with 10 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#19 | No beeps at all. I think it's not even posting or booting. Right now I'm looking at it and the little green light by the battery is on, and the CPU fan is whirring.
I wonder if the CPU just isn't working? Wouldn't that make it beep? | | Distinguished Member with 6,197 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: So. California Experience: Since MS-Dos 3.0 |

#20 | Did you remember to plug in the ATX12V power connector close to the CPU? | | Junior Member with 10 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#22 | So I've deduced that I received a DOA motherboard. According to ASUS tech support, I just have to RMA for a new one. Hopefully when I get the new motherboard, no problems will occur! | | Moderator with 18,661 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Surrey, UK Experience: Intermediate |

#26 | I checked and while your exact cpu part # does not show as supported, I believe that is because you have a BE cpu. Your board should support that cpu.
I agree you most likely have a DOA board. I am not an asus fan and would recommend getting a gigabyte board to replace the one you have currently. Something like this gigabyte board
Next I highly recommend getting a quality pw supply. The one you have may not be causing your current problem however it is a low end unit. Here is an example of a quality pw supply. Corsair 450W Even though it is only 450W as opposed to the 500W you have, I would much rather have the Corsair over your pw supply.

#27 | You know the more I look at your board, the more I would dump it and get something else. Asus lists 3 separate bios updates within a 2 week period. These were to fix system stability.
When you see this many updates, the board is problem prone. | |
