Finally New Mobo On It's Way!!!

[DJ Tucker]

hi everyone. long time since i was on here last anyway as the title says i have a new mobo to replace my old asrock penryn1600sli. it's a good board but overclocks badly on the cpu and the heatsinks are barely passable but still i had no probs for the 2 years i had it and all was well until putting the system into my new case shorted out my mobo

but now i back and with the same system in my sig but as you may of noticed my new mobo is an asus p5n-e sli board with a noble avenger case

how unlikely is this my new mobo works fine but still refuses to boot after testing all my hardware again in other systems it still wont bout when all my components are working together.
anyone have any idea what i may be doing wrong that is stopping my system from posting in fact refusing to do anything but power on!

check all connectors, then do a minimum boot 1 mem, 1 vid, cpu, then see if it boot

Have you tried resetting the cmos?

[DJ Tucker]

i have cleared the cmos and have tried booting up with 1 mem stick and gpu all with no luck. i have no idea what to do now

[Darkstar]

have you tried booting with 2 sticks of mem, one each in the blue slots?

Have you tried booting outside of the case? Maybe a grounding issue.

[DJ Tucker]

not a grounding issue unless the new mobo has shorted due to a grounding issue and i have tried everything i can to get this rig going tried new psu, memory, gpu, cpu and of course mobo and no luck even my backup hard drive refuses

[Major_A]

New board could be DOA, I've had a few do that.

[DJ Tucker]

ok buying myself a brand new msi p6n sli motherboard only this time i am testing it out of the case first on the anti static bag to see if it posts and if doesn't then i surely have a problem elsewhere? will post results asap

[Major_A]

Have you verified that your power supply is working?

[DJ Tucker]

defo found out it's not the psu!

[DJ Tucker]

Woooop i finally got my new motherboard (MSI P6N SLI V2) and all has gone well board works like a dream and overclocks ok. so far i have all my original overclocks back on as you can see in my sig the plus side is my temps with this new mobo and case over my old mobo and case! here are my old results idle and load and my new results idle and load.
