P4P800-E Deluxe Appears Dead

billmm · 04-17-2005, 01:45 PM

Built a new PC and all was well. About to close it up and decided I would connect the 2 front panel USB ports. I initially wasn't sure about the connectivity. In any event I believe I figured it out and connected them.

I turned on the PC, the cpu fan ran for about 2 seconds and them the PC shut down. I searched this board for a solution, found the USB connections and agan I believe I connected them correctly. It mentioned possibly blowing a fuse called P160... I located about 7 or 8 of these all over the board and they all still have conductivity.

I thought it might be the power supply, I tried to test it but I don't think you can really be sure unless its connected to a working MB. I brought it to Compusa, they tested it by pluggung the MB connector into some kind of device and they said it was OK.

I unplugged everything from the MB, reinstalled the PS and I still get nothing. For one moment the MB green led lit up but then went out and now I get response at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Difficult to say anything defenite yet - could you list all the specs of your machine as detailed as possible please ? RAM, CPU, mobo, PSU etc.

Sarkast, thanks for looking...

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe 865PE
CPU P4/3.0EGHz 800M 478P/1MB HT RT
DDR SMPLT 256MB PC3200 SNW32DDR/256 (2)
Eagle ATX 400w Switching Power Supply Model DRB400ATX

Update....

I took my ATX PS from my regular PC and plugged it into the suspect MB. Well the cpu fan started and the green power led started blinking. The only things connected were 1 memory strip and video board.

Reinstalled the original PS and now the MB green power light comes on but nothing else. This is weird, can the PS and MB both be bad?
