I put it all together, wired it up and nothing. No sign of life at all. I switched my power supply to one I know was working, but it made no difference.
HELP!
Ok I answered my own question. I looked at the website supporting this mobo (thanks to another posting I found here) and saw that it is compatible.

So what can be wrong? I have it installed correctly.(not my first cpu install) I have ddr333 pc2700 256 MB ram installed, checked and double checked all my wires and plugs, changed power supply, and gone crazy for hours. Any suggestions. It acts as if it isnt even plugged into the wall!
