K7VZA kt133a ECS mobo suddenly will not post

[Yeeny]

Ok, I bought this mobo the other day, and its been working fine. I shut off my computer, turn it back on, and all of a sudden, it won't post. No monitor light, no video. I tried it with nothing but the ram and video card, still nothing. Tried three different video cards, and tested the video card in another computer, where it worked fine. I don't understand why it would just die like that, or if there is something I possibly did? The rest of my computer is:

900 mhz Tbird
30 gig Maxtor 7200 HD
256 MB ram
Soundblaster Live
GeForce 256
WinXP
300w Enermax EG301P VB

TIA, I really appreciate any advice you may have, I am going crazy.

Hi,

I also have this mobo and afaik many people have problem with video cards - the AGP slot is very tight, and very often it seems that video card is inserted properly, but it is not.
Make sure your video card is inserted properly, or try PCI card.

Maybe the motherboard was not grounded? I don't know how to check for this.
How about a new power supply?
Did you turn off "automatic shutoff if no cpu fan is detected"?

I've built a system with this motherboard too. Initially, I was having problems with video as well, turned out one of the peripherals was bad -the modem. <~~ I don't know how that can screw up the whole system though.

Go return the board already!
