Hi Folks,

I'm in a good mood, got my junk put together and installing Windows as I type so I thought I'd give something away.

But, big But!!
An hour ago I was not such a happy camper , got all the hardware installed and hit the power...Nothing, no fans spin up, no beeps not even the PSU fan spun up
The only activity was the Asus LED blinking on the board

Oh look Windows splash screen just popped up , oh sorry, back on topic.

So I sat there a couple minutes, you know scratching my head, the usual brainstorming.

I double checked all the connections, tried again..Nothing.
Unhooked my opticals and HDD..Nothing.

So logically the next step was to pull it out and see if it would post.

But I did one more thing, you tell me what I did to fix it and the P4 is yours.
Please don't answer if you don't want the P4.



Freebie: 2.4 N/Wood.. Answer my question and it's yours.

Good Luck.

Woo Hoo.. Windows is installed!!

2) The 8 PIN power connector on the MOBO is 2x 4pin power connectors combined in parallel to draw more power safely. 1x 4pin power plug will work, but you should think of an upgrade.
3) If you're running x64 OS and have more than 3GB ram installed but windows is only reporting around 3GB, Go into your bios and enable Memory remapping.
