new build problem

Depends if you;ve plugged it on or not?

The red pin/wire goes to pin one on the speaker pins on the motherboard.
 
Try swoping the cables to the speaker around on the motherboard, you could have the polarity wrong.

You should have a jumper on the motherboard to reset the BIOS.

tried swapping the cable round and no luck, where are the jumpers to reset bios?

EDIT: does this all not just sound like a power issue or something? the mobo would def be to blame yes? as if it was anything else i would atleast get something on screen etc. wouldn't i?
 
Check the manual, Im trying to check the Asus website but its sooo sllooowww.
Last one I checked the P5K it was above the terminal strip were the speaker ect
connect to.

like i said it could be your power supply...You can get the power supply to 'spin up'...but it can still be faulty.

It could also be your graphics card as well, or your cpu =/...but hopefully it isnt that severe obviously.

Do the fans stay at a constant RPM as well?
 
Finaly got the manual, its labeled CLRTC and is next the the battery, remove the battery, move the jumper accross and leave for 10 seconds, reinstate the battery move the jumper accross to pins 1 & 2.

Page 2.22 in manual.

Could be psu then, had that at work numerous of times.

Or it could be a shorting issue, something on the case, just try unplugging the hdd and cd-rom etc, see what happens, failing that, assemble it outside of the case I guess...May help.

Try as RJC says as well, it could very well help :)
 
ok just home there, i'm going to take it all apart and build it on my table....if it doesn't work i'll try my psu (in sig) and see if that's the problem

Yeah it has showed those symptoms before, but we've also had them where thing's have been shorting for some reason...Could be something as simple as a faulty cable somewhere.

i took it out of the case built it up and it was grand, put it in the case again and s'all good, guess it was just a stupid mistake :confused:

cheers anyway everyone :D
 
Hehe :)

It happens matey, sadly you have to re-build the thing sometimes...then miraculously it works? haha, silly thing's Computers are sometimes.

Glad you got it working though, have fun. :)
