yeah because the fan spinning has everything to do with a cpu posting.

did you just upgrade the cpu or build a whole new system?

Hmm.

Old BIOS on the ECS doesn't support that particular core/stepping/multiplier?
Improperly seated RAM/component?
Heatsink not fitted properly? :Q

I'm just taking shots in the dark here.

you check your bus/multiplier settings?

put the old CPU back in, flash with the latest BIOS.

Recheck the jumpers..

Try again

the bios finds the cpu and sets the bus/mutiplier. yes you can set it to something else but you need to set that first. then even after a few attempts to boot it goes to defult.


to the OP:
redo the memmory
redo the fan
make sure the cpu is even in correctly
make sure the motherboard takes that memmory/cpu
see if cpu and mem work in a diffrent machine (if possible)
if all those fail get an RMA.
