|  Problem with Asus A8n-Sli Deluxe
I have had trouble with this mb since the beginning. I recieved it and installed it as described in the owners manual. It fires up and all of the fans turn on (cpu, video card, and case fans). The problem is the monitor will not display nothing. The led on the front of the monitor stays amber and is supposted to turn green. I sent it to be repaired by asus and it is doing the same thing. I convinced the vender to exchange it for a new one and it is on the way. I am in fear that it is another component but I have had the power supply, memory, and sound card tested at local computer stores. No one in town can test me 6600 gt pci express video card or my amd 64 939 cpu. NO one has those component on a bench. I have talked to tech support at asus and we have trouble shoot for an hour and they say that is the mb or power supply. This board has the capability of telling you which components are not passing intial inspection via audio. If i plug in the bare board with nothing on it it says "no cpu installed" "no cpu installed" , if i then slip the cpu in and leave the memory out it says nothing. It should say no memory installed but it does not. Asus cannot tell me why this is happening. I have had it with asus and will never buy another on their products again. They do not even have a 800 number so it costs me long distance everytime i call and the wait is rediculous. Can anyone help?

i seriously do not think a regular pci will work.. and anyways i seriously doubt that is the problem.
I am using an ultra x-connect 500w..... I am aware of the power sensitivity of this mb and i think this unit is plenty. I have been through all of the basic trouble shooting. I was wanting to find someone that maybe has the same problem. | |

if you are using 2 cards (ram) they must be in the blue slots. I don't think you can use 3. if it is just one put it in the blue slot close to the processor. | |
