another a7n8x problem. :(

what do you do if you get NO POST, nothing on the screen AT ALL. i've confirmed it isn't the video card, the CPU and the MB are RMA's that i just got back. It's a new Power supply. I've removed all other components.

I get NOTHING.

i'm really pissed.

OK. Breathe.... Now, you have to verify each component, one by one somehow, in another board, to be sure it is good. Once that is done, then put NO connecters on the motherboard (IDE LED, power led, etc..), except the power-on connecter (required, even if you manually jump it) to make sure no problems there. Also, NO HD, NO floppy, NOTHING except video, memory and CPU. THEN report back the results.

try testing it out of the case also.

A new power supply... but is it a decent one?

google it. see if it's a compatibility problem between the motherboard, and some other device you have.

i found out that i had to increase the aperture size for my radeon on my a7n8x for my system to stop crapping around.

It was a capacitor. i checked all the capacitors near the motherboard and one of them is giving me bogus readings.

btw, it couldn't be a driver error etc because I'M NOT POSTING. for future reference, when someone says, my motherboard is does not POST that usually indicates that it is not an OS error.
