I have recently rebuilt some old components into a pc under water. Spec is as follows:
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe (Skt 939) (Under Water)
AMD 64 X2 4400 (Under Water)
2x Corsair 1GB DDR500, 2x Corsair 512MB DDR400
Corsair HX620
AMD 5870 (Underwater)
The last time I used the CPU, MB, RAM was end of 2008. it has been sat in an old case ever since.
When i power the PC up, fans spins, an led on the motherboard turns on and is green, waterpump starts etc. No display, no BIOS beeps etc. This board supports audio bios fault description thing, a voice says whats wrong. This isnt working. I know I have found before that I had to have the FP audio connected for the rear to work. I connected my fp audio but its very hard to get the connectors in as they are not in a block. This still didnt work.
Things I have tried:
The PSU was working fine in my pc in my sig in August when I replaced it. The graphics card may not work, but I have no reason to believe it doesnt. An old card didnt work either. I dont think its a case of something shorting as it doesnt turn off and will start every time.
I think next step is to dismantle the whole thing, build it outside a case and stick another cpu in with an aircooler and maybe another working gpu. Trying to avoid it as its rather a mammoth task due to wc loop (CPU, Chipset, GPU, Pump, Res, 2x Rads).
Any last suggestions? I'm thinking likely a board failure.

Things I have tried:
- Resetting bios via jumper & removing CMOS battery
- Changing CMOS battery (one that was in there had been there for ages, replaced with one from another pc that has had approx 1 month total use)
- Checking PCI E power, 24 and 4 pin connectors
- Using both a 4pin and an 8pin MB connector
- Reseating CPU
- Using an old pci e card in primary slot and secondary slot
- Tried 2 different sticks of ram on their own in 2 different slots
- Tried no RAM
- Disconnected FP Firewire, Audio & USB
- Tried plugging an onboard speaker into the connector on the board, no beeps
