OK I am giving my old Mobo, CPU and Ram to my dad. so I mounted it in the case and and hooked everything up but now when I turn it on everything spins up for 2 or 3 seconds and then it shuts off. I tried unplugging everything from the Mobo (except CPU and Ram). I also tried a different PSU, no joy. Any ideas?

The M2N series of boards do that, my M2N32-SLI does it, its a normal Asus thing, nothing to be worried about. It should do it once and then after that you should be able to push the power button and it *should* POST.

I have the m2n32-SLi deluxe wifi edition, and Ive never had that type of problem really. Once in a while i have had something like that, but i think he is talking about a problem that is persistant, not every now and then.

As for fixing, if its still warrenty, RMA it.

Yeah It it's persistant, I guess I will have too. But I already RMAed this board once for the same problem (I started this thread before I decided that it was dead). Seriously what it up with this model and crapping out?

I had the same problem. I found the the hard drive LED on the case had shorted out causing the m/b to see a short and shut down. I removed the LED and all is well again.

Make sure the 4-pin ATX power connector is in there!

I just accidentally trashed my BIOS on my M2N-SLI DELUXE... I accidentally Flashed it with BIOS from M2N-SLI32 Deluxe... I can't get it to recover with "Crash Free Boot". I got it to re-flash from the CD but now it does nothing.... HD light stays solid lit, CD spins about 3 seconds then Black screen of Hell... I ordered a new MOBO but would really like to fix the old one... Any suggestions???

Col. Newman

The only thing that was plugged in was the power switch.

It was.


Thanks though guys

ok I got a mobo back from RMA today and it's still doing it. I tried to boot it the first time and it wouldn't boot so I unplugged everything but the video card, the HDD, 1 stick of ram and the power switch. After that it would boot so I shut it down and plug the other RAM stick in and it boots fine. So plug in the DVD drive, the IDE HDD drive that I want to use (was using a SATA to test) and plug in the rest of the case wires. I go to boot and it does it again so I unplug everything except the video card and the power switch, I even removed the RAM and it does it again, I tried various combinations of things plugged in. Still nothing.


I have no freaking clue what is wrong, I need help please.

Col. Newman, it could be a device/component that is shorting out. Have you tried taking everything out of the case to see if you can get it to POST? Make sure you place your components on a non-static surface. Have you tried a different optical drive, IDE hard drive or IDE cable?

Good luck
