Re: MSI K9N SLI Platinum Socket AM2 No Post.
When I build a new computer, and the board doesn't give a post beep, after I check to make sure I have the speaker and power plugs securely installed, my first suspicion is the motherboard. Even with bad parts the board should beep, with all new parts everything is suspect. Since I've never had a cpu bad out of the box, I would have looked at everything else first. Did you say the bios flash failed, did the fans spin the first time you turned it on? Do you have both the 24 pin and the square 4 pin power plugs seated firmly in the power sockets? Make sure the cmos jumper is in the correct position. Lastly I'm curious, why didn't you buy a SATA hard drive instead of the IDE drive, you'll take a big speed hit and both drives will have to be hooked up by one IDE ribbon. Mike
