A7N8X-E Deluxe Boot Failure
I just got my A7N8X-E Deluxe back from Asus RMA. The original was replaced due to some problems. All excited to get going but no joy. It will not post. Here's what happens. Turn on power - led on mobo lights up. Hit power switch - case fan turns on, cpu fan spins, power led lights, ide light comes on - stays on for a minute or 2 and then goes off. And that's it. No beeps, no video, no post, no sound. Any ideas? |

Try it without any other cards in except graphics card and 1 stick of ram. |

No beeps, no video, no post, no sound. Any ideas? This board is defective all the way. I have RMA'd two boards and each new board is worse than the first. We ought to file a class action suit and sue Asus for this defective merchandise. Extending the warrenty to three years on a 1 year warrenty board is evil. If you run a 2800+ on this board it will not work today. Sue the pants off of Asus for this disgrace! Sincerely, Todd Martin Miller, Ph.D. |

No beeps, no video, no post, no sound. Any ideas? And, what does the Voice POST say ? Plug some amplified speakers into Lineout (making sure the two jumpers are installed on the FP_AUDIO 2x5 header). Listen for a message. What brand and model number of RAM are you using ? Does the BIOS flash chip have a sticker on it ? What version of BIOS shipped with the board ? Paul |
so the Ph.D wants to get his own back?

Checking RAM brand and model is a good idea, however he should not have to
be concerned with the BIOS version on a replacement board fresh from the manufacturer. The lawsuit sounds like a great idea! Count me in! "Paul" wrote in message ...

I firmly believe that lawyers who lose these sorts of lawsuits - especially
if they prove to be "trivial" should be forced to be turned into dogfood. We have too many lawyers - Americans have been taught to leach the lifeblood from our country's economy just to satisfy our own short-term apetites. What we don't realize is that we have these paracites that get fatter and fatter whether we win or lose. The true paracites are the lawyers. This spoiled "me" generation and their offspring is going to destroy this entire culture. -- KWW "Paul E. LePage" wrote in message ...

If nothing else the rise in Canine cholesterol would be hazardous to a dog's life. LoL; Ken |

No beeps, no video, no post, no sound. Any ideas? It's most likely the CPU or the Memory (RAM). This board has more memory compatibility issues of any of the ASUS boards I've tried and I have 4 of the A7N8X series alone. I'm typing on an A7N8X-E dlx now with only one stick of OCZ cas 2 memory, but to get it to run stable it must be set to cas 2.5. ( to get to the "User Defined" setting you have to use the "number pad + key") Luck; Ken |
