Ok here goes I just went from this:
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case
Antec SmartPower 500 Watt Modular PSU
ASUS M2N-E Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Socket AM2
1GB (512x2) Corsair XMS2 DDR2800 PC6400 Dual Channel CAS 5
BFG 3D Fuzion GeForce 7600GT PCI-E 256MB RAM 128-Bit
2x Hitachi Deskstars 80GB 7200RPM SATA2 in RAID 0
NEC 3550A DVDRW Burner
I got a 2nd 7600GT (BFG) so decided to finally put it all in with my M2N32 that has been in the wings till I got the 2nd card.
I never had issue one with the above setup, the only thing I changed from that was I removed the floppy and put in a card reader, and changed the PS to a http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817152022
Raidmax Aurora RX-580F, one that will support SLI.
So I took it all apart and put the new MB in and then when I tried to power it up it would turn on for like 3-5 seconds then turn off. If you hit reset nothing, if you hit power process would repeat.
I then stripped parts out one at a time, 1 video card, swapped cards, moved to other PCI-e slot, took one ram stick out, moved to all 4 slots, removed 1 HD, moved to another SATA slot, took out all the HD's, removed all external and front panel connections, removed all case fans, swapped PS's. removed DVD. I had it down to just the CPU and fan, and problem was still the same. I saw other people have had this same issue on other forums but no one ever posts what the problem/fix was.
Thank you for any help.
