HELP! - System wont post (make a better title next time)

Building a pc for otherhalf and motherboard will not post. ASUS K8N-VM.

I have not used one of these before. Have unplugged everything, leaving only the CPU and fan connected. Power to the board but no bios post.

I suspect this is DOA?

Any advice appreciated!

You need CPU, RAM and GPU to post, try that out of the case and see how it goes. Make sure everything is seated correctly.

Have tried with the memory in and have also reseated the CPU, fan, memory. This board has on board graphics so I should not need the GPU. Wondering though whether is worth pulling the graphics from my own pc to test?

Hmm, the onboard graphics should be enabled as default, have you reset the BIOS just in case?

The CMOS? Yes have just reset. I get the running LED On the board and fans spinning etc. I can't think what else to do!!!

Don't think using your own GPU is going to help as you would need to get into the BIOS to disable the onboard I think. No harm in trying I guess.
