I have made a new system with a GA-7n400 pro2 , BArton 2500 , Corsair 3200 value Dual channel 1g, Gigabyte 9700 pro , Raptor 36. I have made all the connections but when I turn the system on I still get a blank screen. The monitor is still flashing green on power as if system isn't on. I have swopped out the cpu,memory and video card with what I know to be working but still have same effect. I also have a second Mobo but it is doing the same thing.
BTW I have a enermax case with 350 watt PS.

Heeellllppppppp .......

Thanks

Um, do you have the special MB connector that goes into the mb near the cpu? Otherwise, remove everything but the processor and hsf and try again. You should get a series of beeps if the board is alive. Otherwise, the board might be doa.

Also, check to ensure that the board is not grounded out on the case somehow. I did that once, had a spare screw under the board shorting the board so it wouldn't boot.

Keep us posted,
