New system Worked fine for 5 days and now the thing won't POST.
It gets stuck and the light on the DVD ROM stays lit.

running Vista on a 6400+ AMD Athlon X2 with a 320 GB HDD, 4 GB Kingston RAM. Saphire Graphics card.

Any Ideas.
 
Here is what I tested this far...
-I pulled and put back in all RAM
-Tried a differant PS
-Differant HDD
-Pulled and replaced EIDE Ribbon
-Tried different Ribbon
-Double checked all Front pannel and USB connections on the board
It just won't get past POST to boot.
The HDD or DVD ROM does not spin during power on and wants it is on I can't turn it off with the power switch or reset. I have to use the rocker switch on the PS.
ASUS says It's the MoBo.
All this stuff is brand new from Newegg.
Your thoughts.
 
Have you tried clearing the cmos? Your mobo manual will tell you exactly how to do it.

Just a thought, you did fit the standoffs correctly?
 
i go with asus, only other thing i can think of right now is it being the mobo, it wasn't the ram then i was going to say the psu or cpu but you've checked the psu

if you can get a cpu from somewhere, somehow, or get a replacement from newegg then try that, otherwise i'm inclined toward the mobo
