Hey All,

Just purchased a new asus p4b266 board, p4 1.6, and antec 300 watt power supply. i set everything up and i press the button, and nothing happens...nothing. i hear a click from the power supply, the green light by the pci slots is on, and nothing happens.

Anyone have any clues? dead supply? dead board? i'm lost...the fan doesn't even go on, nothing works...but the damn green light on the board.

HELP!!!

Thanks in advance,
scottiej

Have you tried a different power supply? Have you looked through the Tech Support Checklist?

Also on another note: Please do not create a brand new thread, but instead bump your original one.

ok, sorry about that

Are you sure that the voltage settings on your PSU are right? Are you sure that the PSU is attached to the motherboard correctly?

I'd check to make sure the Power button from the front of your case is properly connected to your mobo. I.e., you don't have it reversed.

check your pins for the front buttons, then make sure all the connections from the psu are snug, then make sure that the psu switch isn't on 240v, lastly I would make sure that the motherboard isn't grounding out - do you have the spacers installed correctly?

Another question for you, do you have both the ATX and P4 connectors plugged in?

best thing to do is strip the system down to bare minimums.... motherboard, processor, ram, and video card. don't attach any drives or any pci cards. see if the system posts with just those.

also, depunisher made a great suggestion... alot of people moving to P4's for the first time forget that P4 motherboards have 2 extra power connectors making 3 total. make sure all 3 are plugged in, make sure the connectors for the front switches are installed properly, and also make sure the CMOS Reset jumper is set to normal (i've seen in some cases where it's set to reset by default). if that still doesn't work, try swapping out a power supply first and go from there. good luck
