I've tried everything. I was testing it just the mobo + ram, then i took the ram out, had the mobo sitting on the anti-static bag with just the main power cable and power switch plugged in. All that happens is a green led in the bottom corner of the board flashes briefly and the cpu fan spins around a couple of times, then nothing.

What's disturbing is there are a lot of people here running their rigs on old 235w ps's, all the way up to 1ghz+. My ps is from '97, does anyone think it could be a voltage issue?

Is there ANY reason why even a lower than spec wattage ps wouldn't cause the mobo to at least power on?

(btw I've got a tbird 850 on there, no big deal...)
