New System won't boot !!! (CPU sespected) ( Core 2 Quad ) ( Asus P5k Deluxe )

[QuadFusion]

My new system won't boot up . It turns on for a second or so, then shuts down. I tried different startup configs of hardware, finally the system powered on and stayed on after I removed the CPU ( Core 2 Quad). Everything else seems to be working.

My motherboard is Asus P5K Deluxe. Someone told me that it could still be the MoBo. I put the CPU in Dell XPS system, but didn't work. I also put the pentium D from XPS in the new system, the system turned on for a second, then shut down, then turn on itself again and stayed on with all the fans, and leds working. But no display.

Power Supply seems to be in good shape, With all the fans coming on. GPU fan comes on, Optical drives work. Don't know anything about harddrive, because plugging or unplugging it didn't matter.

My conclusion is that it is the CPU, but Motherboard also is suspected. Please help me figure out this problem. I'm getting a cheap 775 socket motherboard from local store to test the CPU. If the CPU works then I guess I will RMA the MoBo.

Thanks a lot guys...

I finally figured out the problem, it was a freakin bend pin in the 775 socket...
I played around with it and finally the system booted..

Bios detected all componets, and showed right values for CPU.. However I do get CPU u code error on start up check (no OS installed)..
Is this error just a bios problem ?

What does the error say? Try resetting CMOS first, if you still get an error check the pins again.

I'm glad to see that you figured it out on your own, without help.
A bent pin is nothing that anyone here would have suggested being the problem.
I know it doesn't seem that way, but this is a forum rather than a chat room.
If you need instant advice, I suggest that you Google for a good tech support chat room.

What do you mean...?

I'd rather have someone say that the problem has been solved, instead of having them do the "fly-by", take an advice or a few, and go home without telling anyone if it works or not.

He obviously didn't know it was a bent pin, that's why he came here for help...

It was the "Thanks a lot guys" remark after only having been posted 5 hours in the late hours. :roll:

Oh...

I didn't take it that way...

And certainly hope he didn't mean it that way...

 

[JustaGeek]

It was actually a double thread...

I have finals at school whole week... But I had to fix this problem to study peacefully.
At least I saw the BIOS...
I will update it after the exams, and hope fully the ucode (microcode) error goes away..

It was not "in the late hours". Well it might have been in the US, but this board has users from all over the world. The OP did exactly right.
