I just bought a new P4P800 that won't boot or even beep. It can't be
shorted out because the board is getting power as evidenced by the green
light and processor fan. I tried it in a different case with the same
result. The power supply in one of the cases is a brand new 400 watt, and
the other is a 300 watt rated for use with a P4. Here are my new
components:

Intel P4 2.6cGHz
Asus P4P800
512 MB DDR PC3200 memory -- a single stick

Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Greg

pull the jumper and reset CMOS

Did you remember to plug in the 12V (4 pin) power plug to the
motherboard? I forgot it once and the board wouldn't boot.

That is precisely what I forgot to do, and I feel like an idiot. It's
working beautifully now.

Thanks for your responses.
