A7N8X-DLX problem..hanging on boot screen

[new2AMD]

I put my new 2500+ chip in and 512mb stick of hyperx pc3200(in the first slot) and a 9600 pro in the mobo and I get to the asus screen where it says hit tab for post or hit alt+f2 for awdflash. I hit tab and delete and everything else and it does nothing. My keyboard lights come on when I first boot it and I get the single beep which makes me believe it posted fine...but the keyboard doesnt respond after that. Have you heard of this or know anything about it? I have cleared the cmos also and the keyboard just seems to not respond. thanks

I also have 2 hd's and a dvd rom connected. 1 IBM(master) and 1 Maxtor that were set up in my other system.


I also posted this in the mobo forum.

Try the ram in another slot. I had a similar issue with KT333 Asus board, move the ram to 3rd dimm slot. It worked fine after that.

Is the keyboard plugged into the PS2 or a USB port? I had the same problems when my KB was plugged into a USB. Switched to PS2 and all is fine.
