I just received a new A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. Well when I turn the computer on it will start to POST and then the computer will turn off. I cleared the CMOS and then the speech reporter says that the CPU is over clocked (which it isn't), but I tried changing that and it still says it is overclocked and shuts off. I have an Athlon XP 2600+ "Barton". The FSB is set to 166 and the multiplier was set to 11.5 This is what it is supposed to be... Also I have 1 512MB — CT6464Z40B DDR PC3200 CL=3 NON-ECC UNBUFFERED from Crucial.
I thought the case might be shorting the motherboard so I built it outside of the case and it still doesn't work. I need to know if I should send back the motherboard or the CPU or what. The CPU only has 5 days left to be returned, so I need to know right away. I have no idea what to do at this point
