Some of it works... just not together

[Xsorovan]

Hey All,
I have built many many computers in my day and so when I ordered up some parts from Newegg I didn't envision I would have problems with this. However I have been having issues.

The problem is that when I turn on the computer all the fans turn on and the CD-rom drive spins up. But the computer won't post, nor give me any beep codes.

I RMA'ed the case and motherboard (it was a bare-bones thing) and when I got them back it does the exact same thing. Disconnecting the HD, and CD-rom drive have no effect. Removing the RAM doesn't seem to have any effect either.

Any suggestions? Am I looking at a bad processor do you think? (It's a core 2 duo E6750)

Thanks in advance for help!

~Ben

I bought a video card for it but haven't installed it as of yet and I am simply trying to get the system to post before I add the card in. So it's using the onboard card right now.

Thanks

what happens when you take out all of the ram and boot it up?

Mr. Poe said it best: "Silence there and nothing more."

Same thing as when the RAM is in there. Nothing posts, nothing beeps. Fans spin, CD-rom spins up, nothing else.

Hi,
Try clearing CMOS - just because you can and its free.
If still no luck, seeing as how you've changed/checked everything else, it leaves CPU or psu.


Could you try chucking a new psu in - if you have one to hand - what psu is it?

Just gonna tell you what you already know now.
Most likely though, is cpu.
Good luck,

I'm thinking a defective mobo, you do have the pc speaker plugged into the mobo correct? if so, then I'd say the mobo is DOA. I'd contact asus about a RMA on it.

Have you tried booting with only one stick? Moving it to different slots?
