Scogger · 02-29-2008, 01:49 PM

Hello,

Today i recieved an ASUS P5K mobo and a Intel E6750 i put it in my case and hooked everything and double checked everything but it won't turn on.
The light on the front of the case flash for a second then it just doesnt do anything...The light on the mobo to show that it has power is on but it will not turn on. any help at this point would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Make sure that you are not grounding your motherboard. It should only be touching your case via the mounting brackets at the screw-hole locations. Make sure you don't have a bracket, possibly offset by the older motherboards screw hole layout, touching your board in a non-screw hole location. If that makes any sense?

Hi Scogger,

I recently built a computer for a friend with the same system. The end problem was the power supply, which came DOA. I determined it was the power supply by testing it with a multimeter and finding out that there was no Power_Good signal present.

If you are unfamiliar with power supply testing or do not have a multimeter, see if you can swap in a known good power supply.

Also, please post your entire system specs.
