Having a problem making my pc boot up with Gigabyte motherboard

Award. What does that make a different?

Solve my problem. It was the motherboard. Thanks for the help guys.

EDIT: Just saw your post above. Great news that you found the problem! How did you find it was the motherboard out of curiousity?



At this point, I'd strip down to the basics to help with the troubleshooting.

Remove your motherboard from the case and remove everything except the following:

1. CPU/heatsink
2. ONE stick of ram
3. Your graphics card

Then, with the motherboard beside your case, connect the following THREE power supply connections.
1. one connection to your graphics card
2. the 24 pin connector to the mobo
3. The 12vATX connector to the mobo

Next, connect your case's speaker wire to the motherboard.

Plug your monitor into the graphics card.

Plug your monitor and PSU in so they have power and use a screwdriver to quickly "short" the two pins that are normally connected to your case's power on switch.

Tell us the following:
1. What lights are lit up on your motherboard (led lights) before and after you short the two pins.
2. What fans start spinning
3. What shows up on your monitor
4. What beeps if any do you get.

As you have tested your PSU, ram, graphics card and all are working, if you are unable to boot into your bios with the above setup, you have narrowed it down to your CPU or motherboard.

Found the problem. It was the motherboard. I bought a new motherboard and it works. Thanks for your input.
