New hardware. Issues, anyone else?

[ThreeFingerPete]

I just picked up an Asus A8N SLI board, Athlon64 3000+, and a shiny new x800, new power supply and hard drive.

I don't get any post, all fans/leds respond correctly, but no computage.

anybody else have similar problems with new hardware?

sorry but this doesn't help your problem, but I was wondering why an A8N SLI and an X800?
Why no 6800GT or Ultra?

Are you using a regular ATX power supply or the new ATX 2.0?

[ThreeFingerPete]

I got a good deal on the x800, i could have got a 6600gt "OC" or this card, I think the ati was a better choice, although, i won't be running SLI, EVER.

I'm using a BIG enermax 550, with a 24pin atx main power adapter, (as opposed to the standard 20 pin mobo connector).

no post, nothing. I wish P4 had a decent bang for the buck setup right now.

I'd call it a fugged mobo. If you power is getting to the drives and lights and stuff...likely the PSU is good.

[ThreeFingerPete]

yeah, i'm just pissed because it's a 250$ motherboard that i was VERY careful with, stay grounded, keep everything away from static, etc.

is this athlon64 shit just being ultra fragile, or what?

[Roliath]

No, it's not the A64 part.
It's the mobo, i know at least 3 people that have had that board crap out on them.

[ThreeFingerPete]

really? i've heard alot of good things.


fucking aye, the a64 stuff is KILLING me.
