I built a new server recently.
Pentium D 3.0
2 gigs ddr2 800
asus p5rd2-vm
The mobo is supposed to have onboard video, so no video card is in it.
I'm getting no post, (originally assumed it was silent) no beeps (even without ram), nothing!
I rma'd the board (which is what it sounds like), then after newegg supposedly fixed it, they sent it back and guess what it doesn't work.
I bought another board, same kind. Same symptoms. I took out the pentium d and replaced it with a known working lga 775 p4 3.2. Nothing!'
Changed out the power supply with a known working 450 watt ps, the one that I took from my main pc, and still fans work, but not post.
I added a pci-e x16 geforce 6800 and still nothing.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the compound that came with the processor. It was very light on the chip, predone by intel I guess. Didn't require manual adding of compound. But then, I think, if I added a p4 and it didn't work either, why would that be the problem?
I'm really mad right now, I've replaced so many things. These are the thing I know for sure work: PS, mobo, HD, DVDrom, fans.
I'm totally lost, I've never had a problem with asus boards until now. Help would be greatly appreciated.
