Group,
I just assembled my new box.P4C-800-E Dlx.Corsair
Twin CMX512-4000.Prescott P4 2.4 ghz.It powers
up but will not POST.I removed all PCI cards,still nothing.Hitting the power
button will power the box on
but pushing it again will not power it off.I have to switch
off the power supply to turn it off.I tried it with a normal
P4 1.5 ghz chip.Again no go.Tried ram as dual and single
channel set-up.Anyone have any suggestions?I don't
think I'm missing anything,I've put together more than 40
units in my life so I'm not a noob.Geez it's always my luck
to mail order and get dead stuff.I have spaced on a couple occasions and
forgotten a jumper,but I've been over this and through it for an hour
now,and cannot see any errors,thanks,Adysthemic

doesnt your board have voice post?

plug a speaker in the audio output and it will tell you whats wrong!

Erm,no offense,but I stated it does not POST at all only powers up.No
beeps,no voice,nothing.I'm trying to RMA
now.I used to love ASUS,way back when.. P55t2p4 so much so when I became an
"IT guy" I always chose ASUS.I was responsible for the purchase of 80 P4TE's
5 of which failed,and were replaced with no hassle.I guess I'm still loyal
to ASUS,but getting a DOA is really
irritating.If they easily RMA it, I'm still a loyal customer.

And again... Plug in a speaker and turn it on and you should hear an error
spoken. I may take a minute or two though. This is completely separate from
the CPU and runs on its own circuitry.

A few things to check..
- CMOS battery jumper in the wrong place
- Try clearing CMOS
- IDE cables backwards
- 4 pin CPU power cable plugged in
- Build it outside the case - MB, PSU, CPU & sink, and MB and audio
speakers. Nothing else. Should still beep and at least spit out an error. If
it seems to work, add the video card and try again.

!!REMOVE FROM POWER BEFORE SWAPPING HARDWARE!! PCI slots are hot as long as
the PSU is plugged in (and rear switch is on, if you have one), even if the
computer is turned off. (for Wake on LAN and such)

....next would be try a different PSU or this PSU in another chassis. Swap
CPU. etc...

Did that early on

Did that and removed the battery for 10min

Yes.

I believe I stated that I tried another CPU.
I have no other compatible Ram to try.

Hey thanks for all the suggestions,but so far I have tried them all
already,except the PSU.It is a high quality Enermax that worked fine with my
Iwill Athlon MB.

Did you ever plug the speaker in the back to see what the voice post
said??????

You do get the voice post whether the machine posts or not you know

Twice you were told!

Just to "drum it into your head" you will STILL get a voice post even if you
have no cpu,vga or ram installed!

.........no offence!

Lol,Laz I never did hear it?!I thought I would get to hear it when the
prescott support wasn't in the earlier bios version,and it failed to
boot.Honestly I forgot all about hearing it after I got it all to work.I'll
get it working if it isn't,does sound like a cool thing.BTW I fiddled and
twiddled
and cannot OC higher than 2.88(2.4) darn it.Don't want to vcore it more than
1.65.Temp is 52C at idle.Pretty hot,like my old athlon.HSF is stock but of a
much higher quality than I've seen before.It even has a heavy embedded
copper core.
I'll dink around some more,I really wanted 3.0ghz,Adysthemic

This just gets worse and worse,hehe.No bios message sound
at all.............I had the speakers plugged into the wrong jack hole,lol.I
did it by "feel" on auto pilot.Just as I'd done a million times on my old
set-up,well I stuck it in the wrong hole,shhh don't tell my wife ;>),A
