Thread: No idea What is wrong with my computer

Normally i would suggest that its a GPU problem but since you said you replaced it and still nothing happened we'll move on.

Do you hear any beeps after turning it on? If you do go here and check out what they mean: BEEP CODES

Another possibility may be that your 4-pin CPU connector isn't connected. Check that as well.

Lastly, if all fails reset your CMOS. Unplug your PC. Gently pull out the circular silver coated CMOS battery, traditionally on the bottom right side of your Motherboard, and wait for 10 seconds. Put in back in and try booting up again.

my 6-pin CPU power plug is in. ill give the battery idea a try and let you know asap

Make sure you are using the EATX12V and NOT the PCI-E 6/8-pin for the cpu socket.
It should be an 8-pin connector NOT 6-pin. PCI-E and EATX can be easilly fitted into the wrong slots, especially confusing with plug-type psu's

The 6-pin is for the PCI-Ex, snap together the 2 cpu terminals to make an 8-pin connector
(see image below)




Other things to try:
1) I believe your GPU doesnt need power for the x16 PCI-E. Try removing the power.
1) Try both ram modules one at a time
2) Also make sure you plug in the power for the gpu
3) Both RAM Modules should be in the Yellow slots.
4) Try installing a PCI based video card, and see if it posts. I know its 2 new boards but you may need need to reset the CMOS. Consult your motherboard manual to do this

By the way, are you sure your board is not shorting out on the case? (You used the riser pins)?

if all this fails it might be your psu isn't delivering enough power to the cpu (EPS12V), can you try a different one?

Yeah, it really does sound like the CPU. Hope you still got a warranty on it

Have your checked your Front Panel connections? Its the white colored panel to your lower, right corner as seen here: http://www.ixbt.com/mainboard/asus/m...luxe/board.jpg
In the pictures its towards the bottom left corner

if you swap your cpu for a new one it may be the board needs an update to work, it may be a good idea to take it to the store, the best thing to do here is put a pentium processor into it (matching the right socket) to test everything else.

the odds are that the board doesnt like your cpu type, or that the cpu is damaged, just check the 12v cpu power psu connector with the above diagram i posted eariller, it should match exactly to your psu's 12v cpu rail pins. - reason i tell you this is it is very common for new pc users to put the pci-express cable into the cpu socket - they easilly fit into the same socket and yes i've done it myself!

im not an expert on psu's but if you get your CPU RMA'd and if the new one doesnt work then I would deffo take it to the store, if you have checked the ram individually there is something strange going on
