    Chaps whats a good ASUS board to go for, mines just died! Get power to it but nothing boots up at all, no display, nowt!

    Checked fan on GC – OK
    Checked fan on CPU = OK
    Not the HD’s
    Not the RAM –
    Not the Power Supply
    Not any other external card

    It started when I plugged my ipod in and it did not recognise the device and it completely hung

    I’ve heard that the green coloured ASUS boards are pretty good ๐Ÿ˜‰

    But don’t buy one yet Max.

    It could be that there’s something shorting out the board. Try taking it appart with only the CPU (and fan) and the GFX card in place and then try booting. If that don’t work, try taking the mobo out of the case and sitting it on a non conductive surface and then try booting it.

    That’s worked for me in the past. Hope it helps.

    When my mobo farked it would not register the power.
    Are you 100% sure your ram is fine as one of my ram chips went down a month or so ago that i was doing the same as what yours is.

    Try resetting your cosmos first.

    Then if you are still having trouble do was neon said..

    i think i know what the problem was. When you plugged your ipod in, the asus boards have an ‘anti gay peripherals’ sensor (patent pending). Your ipod therefore caused a complete meltdown due to a high level of shame and embarrassment ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hope this helps

    Do you have the specs of your cpu?

    As I would be very interested if it is the Prescott Version with 1MB Lvl1 cache ๐Ÿ™‚
