Asus A7V8X problems
Could be power supply. Does the PS fan spin? Also, for around $13.00 you can
pickup an ATX PS tester. Also, if you are handy with a multimeter, you can test the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v lines. I would definately eliminate the PS as the source of your problem before moving on to the motherboard. Hope this helps, D. "Lenny" wrote in message ... Hello, I'm helping a friend build a PC. I've built a couple before, and I am almost positive this is a bad mobo, but I wanted to run this by here before he RMA'd it. It won't power up. No fans spinning at all. The green LED on this mobo is on (good), as well as the red RED (bad - means a 3.3v AGP card in the slot, which is only 1.5v). However, the video card is a GF4Ti4200, which is a 1.5v card. Therefore, I don't see why the stupid red light is on. I even took the video card out, and only had RAM, CPU plugged in, hoping the computer would at least power up and give a beep error code. No, that damned red light is still on. I'm sure the ATX power jumper is set correctly (unless ASUS drew the diagram incorrectly). I don't think a backwards HDD LED or backwards speaker/power/reset jumper would matter. Any ideas? - Lenny |

It took ASUS less than 2 minutes to tell us that we had a bad motherboard.
I guess the red LED being on without the video card even plugged in was a dead giveaway. The PS is high quality, I doubt its bad, and the mobo was receiving power anyways (just refusing to switch on). We're going to try the new kt600 board. "D" wrote in message ... Could be power supply.
