Asus P4P880E-Deluxe Bios Issue

[Kok Kein]

Hi all,

I bought the following items:

ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe Motherboard
P4 2.8C 800MHz/512KB
Kinston 512MB PC400/3200 RAM
Maxtor 120GB HDD

I have connected everything correctly based on the manual but when I
power on the whole system, nothing happen. What I can see is only the
led light on the mother light up as well as the fan is spinnig. I am
just wondering is that a problem with ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe mobo? Just
want to know anyone out there having the same issue or not. Hope to
get some help out there.

Did you plug in the ATX 12v (square, 4 pin) power plug? If not,
you'll get exactly the symptoms you describe.

It helps to give us a complete inventory of your hardware. You
don't mention what video card or what power supply you are using.
Some older video cards are incompatible and will stop the computer
from POSTing. The AGP_Warn circuit sense the bad video card and
cuts the power to the board.

Instead of using the power switch on your case, you can touch a
screwdriver to the two pins you would normally connect the power
switch to. I have a new system sitting on a table top, without a
computer case, and that is how I am starting the system. I discharge
any ESD from my fingers first, by touching the case of the PSU,
then touch the screwdriver tip for a fraction of a second to the
two "power switch" pins, to start the computer. Some computer cases
ship with bad power switches, and using the screwdriver is another
way to start the system. The switch is only momentary contact, so
you don't have to hold the screwdriver there forever.

When you want to shutdown, depending on how ACPI has programmed
the power switch circuit, it will either take touching the two
pins for a steady four seconds to achieve shutdown, or shutdown
might be programmed to be instantaneous when you use the
screwdriver.

HTH,

Plug a headphone into the socket and listen for any POST messages.

It would seem that there is power going to the board. Dodgy RAM is a
possible culprit.
