When you turn on the PC are any fans starting up? Are any fans not starting up?

Are you hearing the BIOS beep or a series of beeps?

What are the details on the problem, such as it's a new system & has never worked, I've added new parts & it quit, or it just wouldn't start one day.

Make sure you have a little speaker connected to the mobo so you can hear beeps. A single beep means the mobo passed POST (power on self test), a series of beeps can mean a bad video card, bad memory, etc. No beeps can mean either the motherboard or PSU (power supply unit) have failed.

Is this a new build or have you had it a while?

Is the northbridge fan working too? That's the little heatsink/fan below the CPU.

Double check all the power connectors in the case. Try removing your video card & turning on the PC. You should get a "video bad or missing" beep code. You can do the same test with the ram.

After reinstalling the video & ram, reset the CMOS & see what happens.
(reset the CMOS by turning off & unplugging from the wall. Move the Clr_CMOS jumper from normal to clear, wait 5-10 mins, then move it back. Plug PSU back in & turn the power on.)

Let us know how it goes, the more info you provide the better change we have helping you figure out what's going on.

I have the same problem. tried all of the suggestions and still no boot or beeps. Is this a bad motherboard?

Hi,

I have a revision 1.0 of this same mainboard and exactly the same scenario has happened to me, no beeps or anything. I have pulled out the memory, disconnected all hard drives, replaced the power supply, reset the bios via pulling out the battery, resat the processor and still nothing. Any suggestions appreciated........

Make sure all power connections are plugged in (20 pin, 4 pin). Disconnect everything except the monitor and one memory stick. If you have two sticks, alternate them in case one is bad.
