I am in the process of building a computer and ran into a snag. When I go to hit power, the fans spin a second and then stop. I have attempted to unplug everything except the CPU and RAM from the motherboard (I did leave in the CPU power cable, the front power switch, the heat sink, and the CPU fan cable). I do not get any POST beeps. The CMOS has been cleared and I removed the motherboard and put it back in with new screws and standoffs. The memory was also removed and each piece was tried in each slot. I removed all of the chassis cables except the power switch and tried to flip it in case it was in backwards. Below are the relevant specs:
Intel E6600
AeroCool CPU Fan
ASUS P5B
Corsair 1GB x 2 DDR2
650W ZeroDBA PSU
Could it be that the motherboard is fried? I do not have another CPU, MB, or PSU to eliminate them from possibility. Before I send parts back, I just thought I would inquire on this forums’ excellent opinion. Thanks.
