Looking for help with new build

dac09 · 09-02-2009, 12:13 PM

Hi

Just after some help or advice on a new build pc i am working on.
I have read through the bench testing post but still have the same problem, upon switch on the fan spins for 2-3 seconds then stops and nothing happens.

Have tried with no ram, clearing cmos and even a different psu but keep getting the same result.

Motherboard asus msn68-am se2
cpu amd athlon 64 x2 dual core with standard heatsink and fan
psu Hec 550 w

This is my first build after just upgrading various pcs for the past few years.

Any help or advice would be gratefully welcomed.
Thanks

No POST with just cpu and ram installed = most likely a toasted board.

By the way this is how my M2N-E acted when it finally calved.

Would that be a M2N68-AM board?
Which X2 CPU do you have?
Do you have both the 24 pin main and the 4 pin CPU power hooked up?
Do you have a motherboard or case speaker hooked up?
