New setup not POSTing

[bluestrobe]

This is what I have

Radeon X1950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16

Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz

OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800

ABIT IL9 Pro LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU ATX 12V 2.0 500W Power Supply

I put everything together and nothing. Fans spin, HD and DVDROM spins but that about it, no video. Then I unplug everything but the CPU, memory, and video card, again, nothing. I take the PCIE video card out and stick in an old PCI test video card I have, nothing. I take the parts out of the case and bench test them, nothing. I try another 20pin PS I had and nothing again. I take out the memory, no change. I reseat the CPU and memory, nothing. I haven't been able to get video with two different video cards.

I tried the PS on another system and it worked. The video card, CPU, and memory I can not try on any other system since most of my rigs are older sockets and VGA. Any suggestions?

I have checked the standoffs in the case and other little things and could not find anything wrong. The HD and DVDROM are from my older system (currently using) and they worked before and after being tried in the new rig.

Sounds like a bum board to me. Take out all the memory and just leave your old PCI vid card and CPU in. You should at least get some error beeps.

Oh, and of course make sure your power supply is plugged into both sockets on the board

I'm thinking motherboard too. It would be the first DOA new board I have ever ran into. All the connections were checked (3 on the board total) so that option is good.

Also I did it with only the cpu, PS and PCI video going and the same result, no beeps, no video, no nothing. I hope the board didn't take anything else with it.

 

[bluestrobe]

Is there any known compatibility issues with the listed hardware?

 

[robisbell]

possibly the ram and the board, I'd suggest you verify the ram spec, versus Kingston or crucial.

Yup! could be a "ic" prob

 

[bluestrobe]

I should of still got some type of error beeps or video signal without the ram installed. In this case. I didn't get either.

 

[robisbell]

then the boards dead, jim.

The board was RMA'd this morning.

Good catch. I went over the specs several times and missed it every time. Looks like I'll be sticking the IL9 on eBay and buying yet another board. Yippee!
