I purcahsed an Asus P5N-D Mobo had everything connected and tried powering up the system but nothing happened? The fans on the caseing spined for a second then stopped. What could the problem be?
 
I'm just off to bed but i thought i would get your thread kicked off for otherss to pitch in once you've replied...

Is the mobo the only new component? Are all the other components from a previos rig that worked or did you have a fault and suspected the mobo and that's why you changed it?

Basically, we need way more info:

  • Your complete spec
  • Is the mobo the only new component?
  • Did you change the mobo due to an underlying fault?
  • When you list your spec list which are new components
  • if you did change the mobo due to a problem - what was the problem?

Things that you can try in the mean time:

  • re-check all your compenents and connections are fitted properly - seems obvious but very important. (especially the gfx card and memroy)
  • run a skeleton setup - only connect the cpu, 1 stick of memory, gfx and see if you can access the BIOS
  • do the above but outside of the case to rule out shorting.
  • If you have a spare psu - try that.

Good luck with it & welcome to the forums

Additional: excuse the fragmented nature of my post - it's been a long day...

Well Heres My Spec.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
MOBO: Asus P5N-D nForce 750i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD753LJ)

(All Above Is The New Components I Ordered From Overclockers)

GFX CARD: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GT
PSU: Cooler Master 550W eXtreme Power Plus PSU
RAM: OCZ Platinum Revision 4 XTC 2GB (4x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Series (OCZ2P800R22GK)

(These components are the ones i had before and i have replaced them back in my old machine and are working perfectly fine).

Note: I had everything connected when i tried to power up the components at mimimal spec the fans on the case and cpu used to spin then stop. (Ive heard it detected a short then shut down) I tried powering up serveral times untill the board smoked at the main power connector to the mobo. Now when i try powering up there is no powering going to the cpu or gfx card. Could this mean the board has fried and was i at fault or was the board faulty from the start? If so may it be my own fault whats the chances of frying my CPU aswell?

Thanks for your advice.
