Does the PC post when turned on, what are the temps in the BIOS.
Sometimes the can slow down / stop if below a certain temperature, built a friends PC and this does the same.

nope no post what so everno sounds just slightest of spin then thats it

Couple of obvious questions: Have you plugged the 4 pin or 8 pin power by the CPU, check all power cables are correctly seated, and perhaps try resetting the CMOS.

all the connectors are in but usually isnt there a jumper to reset the cmos but i cant find it on this board

Just checked the manual (god the asus website is so **** slow) it shows it in the bottom right hand corner (looking long ways) below the connectors for LEDS and power on switch labeled CLRTC.

[bumblebaytuna]

ok just taken it to a shop to try another core duo and it does the same and we noticed some black what looked like burns marks on the sockjet would that have done it

That could be a problem or might be DOA board might be the case of sending it back under warranty.

Out of curiosity have tried this outside your case with your motherboard on insulated foam and box!

slight problem on the warranty front the good old ebay was to blame, im a sucka for a deal.
havent tried that but its out now as i have put my old system in can i run the psu out of the case aswell

 

[RJC]

Yes you can.

Ah I see, can you not contact the seller and see if he can offer some compensation.
