Another post problem

[PhunkeyMonkeh]

Seems to be a few of these on here.

I've just purchased the following

Q6600
Asus PK5-E
Corsair 2x1gb PC6400
Corsair hx520
Antec 182
Thermaltake 120

I cant get the bleeding thing to post.

I just keeps looping.
I turn it on ...the motherboard light comes on...the fans spin and after a few seconds it restarts. (the mobo light remains on during all of this)
I dont get any display.

Ive tried
Different PSU
Different RAM (albeit pc5300...this ok?)
Building outside the case
Ive tried with the 120 and the Intel stock fan.

There are no beeps.
I dont know if its the CPU/Mobo...but as i have no other Quad core systems ive no way of narrowing it down further that i can see?

Does anyone have any tips before i RMA the whole lot.

 

[PhunkeyMonkeh]

nah dont know anyone else with a quad core capable system

 

[PhunkeyMonkeh]

Yea sorry.
I've tried each stick of ram on its own in each of the 4 slots.

The very first time i powered it up it stayed on (but still no display) everytime after that its been 'cycling'

Ive also tried it with two different PCI-e gfx cards. A 1950 Pro and 6800GS

Yeah tried removing the battery and resetting the CMOS.
Im assuming it is cycling as the fans stop..but i cant actually see it 'cycling'

The power supply is a Corsair 520W.

I have a CPU fan connected also.

Dont think this motherboard has AGP

 

[PhunkeyMonkeh]

no, but it had a decent covering in my opinion...that said im never quite sure how much to put on.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I ended up going to get another motherboard.
I swapped it for a PW5 DH.
I was concerned because i did want to overclock it and i understand the PK5 is great for that.

I was never after supreme overclocks so i thought id take the risk.

A few hours later im all up and running on Vista with the new mobo at 3ghz without trying and temps of 35c idle. Not had time to prime it yet.

Anyways...thanks for your help.
