Just built a new PC and it will not boot

Just bought a new

Case: V-TECH 8877K
http://www.vtech.com.tw/Products/cas....asp?number=58

Motherboard: ASUS P4S800
http://www.asus.com/products/mb/sock...0/overview.htm

CPU: INTEL SL6WG

http://processorfinder.intel.com/scr...WG&ProcFam=483
&PkgType=ALL&SysBusSpd=6107&CorSpd=6088

Ram: 2 x ELIXIR 512MB DDR -400MHz -CL3 PC3200U -30330
Part Number: M2U51264DS8HB3G-5T

http://www.infineon.com/cgi/ecrm.dll...oid=30466&cat_
oid=-8005

Graphics Card: POWERCOLOR RADEON 9600 R96-D3GN\

http://www.powercolor.com.tw/page2/p...id=176&id=1&sn
=176&temp1=2

The first thing that I really need to check is that all this crap is
compatible??? Or have I been sold components which will not work together?


Put the jigsaw together and it will physically 'turn on' but not boot.

By that I mean that the power button will turn on and the the Case power
light will come on.
The Motherboard will spring to life (it has an LED)
The CPU fan will start (as will the power supply fan)

But that is the end of it.

The monitor does not switch from standby (The led should go from orange to
green)
The keyboard will not light up -referring to the CAPS lock . (Nor can I get
the caps lock to function)

I do not know what can cause such a fundamental failure.

If I could get to BIOS - I would have somewhere to start but cannot even get
that far.

I have tried with just one stick of RAM (in case one is faulty) and I have
tried each stick in each of the three sockets - Makes no difference.


Any ideas

I just found our from:
http://www.asus.com.tw/support/cpusu...px?MB=P4S800&C
PU=P4-3.20%20GHz(800%20MHz%20FSB)%20(HyperThreading)&BIO S=1003

That my motherboard has supported my CPU since BIOS version 1003.

If my BIOS is earlier then I will not be able to boot right?

SO how do I check my BIOS version?

ASUS tell me to check the BIOS version displayed on the screen during
bootup....... and we all know that I cannot boot up, so.....

There is a sticker on the BIOS chip. 1005 - SO there goes that theory.

You most likly have a video related issue. Reseat the video card,
check to make sure you havn't bent any pins in the connector. Do you
get any beeps while the PC is trying to boot? Can you hear or feel the
hard drives spin up? If your getting no beeps during boot up and the
drives are spining up you almost for sure have a video problem.
