I am helping a friend of mine build a new Athlon system, we both decided that the a7n8x deluxe would be the best board for him. We ordered the following equipment from googlegear and newegg.
XP2200+ Processor
A7N8X Deluxe Board
Single 512MB Corsair Module (will purchase another 512MB module in the future)
Case with a 350W PS
ATI 7500 AIW Retail
IBM/Hitachi 180GXP 120G w/8MB buffer
52X Samsung CDR/RW
We had the system fully assembled and when we hit the power button the board wouldn't POST. All fans and devices within the system spin up normally but the board simply refuses to POST. We have tried everyting to get the board to POST, switched slots for the memory modules, different video cards, unplugged all the devices except the processor and ram. In all cases the board will not even give off a simple beep code. It powers on but then does nothing, it just sits there in silence. I'm about ready to tell my friend to RMA the board, does anyone have any suggestions?
