It seems I can't frickin' count....I have four HD total in the system (1 sata, 3 ide).
I will disconnect the 3 ide drives and see if that solves the problem. If not, I will be going out to get probably a 400w ps with at least 28 amps. What's the latest revision # on these boards? cheers, mike On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 17:42:57 -0500, "sdlomi" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: > >"Mike G" <mike_@goodman.net> wrote in message >news (E-Mail Removed)...>> On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 15:00:24 GMT, Rob <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: >> >> >Hey Mike, >> >The -E board is pretty new so the Rev number are still low.

Mike,
AFAIK there isn't any Rev changes on your board yet but it's only been out around 2 months. There have been a couple BIOS upgrades though. If taking the 3 IDE drives out solves your problem, great. If not I would think that a 300w is still too small. I had problems with an economy 400w unit, with 2 less drives. I moved to an Antec TruePower 480w and all the little quirks, to include dead screens, that I was experiencing went away. YMMV.

Pulling the drives didn't help.
I'm going out and getting at least a 400w power supply. Do I need to go as high as 480w? Wow. I guess I'll see what Best Buy or Circuit City have. mike On Fri, 19 Dec 2003 03:37:11 GMT, Rob <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: >Mike, >AFAIK there isn't any Rev changes on your board yet but it's only been >out around 2 months.

Mike,
Probably depends on the quality of the PS and what you might be adding to your system in the future. Better to spend a little more cash for a good quality one. Even if this doesn't resolve the problem, it will be a worthwhile investment. Rob Mike G wrote: > Pulling the drives didn't help. > > I'm going out and getting at least a 400w power supply.

Got the new motherboard in.
I'm having sort of the same problem as before. Everything seems to spin up okay I'm not getting a post on the monitor though. This time, however, when I stripped everything out I did get the "female no cpu warning". I put in the cpu, fired it up again and the warning disappeared. I'm under the impression that it should have reported a memory failure at this point, but it didn't. I also swapped the 8x agp for a 4x agp card that works and still nothing happened. Can I slap my 1.8ghz cpu in to see if that will work? mike On Fri, 19 Dec 2003 14:02:41 GMT, Rob <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: >Mike, >Probably depends on the quality of the PS and what you might be adding >to your system in the future.

I have just finished solving a problem (hopefully) very similar to this.
Installed a new 1.01 A7N8X-E deluxe board, put in 1Ghz Athlon, and 3 PC2100 RAM chips. (the new motherboard was a replacement for a dead MSI one) It would spin everything up - but no video. Finally got round to testing 4 RAM modules lying around here - found 2 with errors and 1 that would cause my system to scream in that really annoying female voice that the CPU was stuffed when it wasn't. System would hang with nothing happening. Removing this module solved that problem (buggered RAM chip also screwed with the BIOS settings too  ) Go figure : /So moral of story go find memtest86 and run it on your system. Pretty good chance you've got some stuffed RAM. Probably best to test the RAM 1 module at a time.
