ASUS P5W
e6400
Silverstone Strider 600W


I'm not sure what seems to be the problem. Checked all power plugs and it seems to be fine. When I press the power button the fan spins up for a second and then stop. I do get a green LED light on the motherboard. What could cause this?

It happened to me once. I had the PWR SW wire from case to mobo reversed. Quick start guide and manual were opposite directions.
That was my case, at least.

Yes I cleared the CMOS, still the same problem
However, I did have to take out the old 0502 BIOS chip and install the new chip that ASUS provide. I don't think I made a mistake in swapping the chip as I made sure there was a click sound when I inserted the new BIOS chip in.

Problem solved. Thank you everybody for the input. The problem was that I placed the 6 pin PCI-E power cord on the wrong socket in the Strider. Now is up and running. Thanks.
