Hi, I just built a new computer for my self and it wont start up. I have treid a different cpu, a different video card, a different power supply, different memory, and a differnt hard drive. So i figured it was the motherboard, but the green light is on on the motherboard. I also tried 2 different cases leds, and then i tried to start it up with a screw driver, but nothing.

This is my specs

core 2 duo e6600
Asus p5w deluxe mobo
ati x1900xt
Ozc ddr2 pc800
hitachi 160 gig HD
600 W kingwin psu

I have tried this combo on that mobo

core 2 duo e6300
x1800xt
G-skill ddr2 ram
Seagate 160 gig Hd
500 W Rosewill psu

But nothing works

Your going to need an older CPU such as P4, PD. You have to pop on of those in the board and flash BIOS. This will update the board allowing you to use your new core2 duo.


Lucky.....

Also you may be able to send your mobo back to the Asus and have them flash it for you. You may have to make a small payment.

I called asus, and they said that if it was a bios issue, the computer would start up (fans spin ect) but thier would be not video, or it would not post. Mine does nothing, so its probably a bad mobo.
