P5Q-E upgrade-build not Posting:(

Hmm what exact ram do you have?

Is that OCZ stuff compatible with Asus for sure? perhaps its not getting enough juice.

I recall that 4x1gb ocz platinum pc6400 isn't compatible.

Sid I assumed my ram which is fine in my other Asus board would also be fine.

It's a good suggestion from sid and does follow the standard trouble-shooting protocol of testing each and every part, if you rely on assumptions you can be in for a rough ride!

hopefully the GEIL does something?
 
I am doing a bare-bones atm, just Mobo, Cpu and GPU but the mobo switch won't work! It doesn't want to turn the mobo on! even though its glowing...

OK, i've put geil in, same thing, no GPU fan spinning, no signal output

Just installed a speaker onto the mobo, it doesn't beep at all!

Ok I put my old mobo into the case to check the GPU was still OK and it is. Image on screen, POST, into BIOS etc etc

So this rules out my GPU as having spontaneously died between upgrading!
 
Sounds like a duff board then.

Looks like you've tried everything pretty much.

100% got all the cables plugged in yeah?
 
Yea, if you've put everything on another mobo and its worked alright, it would seem your P5Q-E is knackered!! Is it still covered by warranty do you know?
 
@sid yeh all the cables are plugged in

I haven't put my quad into the old mobo, but seeing as I also tried the E6300 in the P5Q-E to no avail it rules out the new Q6700 being faulty. Plus I bought the new board for the quad as the P5NE-SLI is not so hot with them.

As for warranty I am still conversing with the seller, I am unsure as to any warranty it may or may not have with Asus...
 
Ordered and installed a new P5Q-E off ocuk, PC is up and running, fffing YAY!
So this ebay guy has screwed me over:(
Never again...
Now to clock this baby up
 
Told you not to get it off eBay dude....

Glad you got it working now though :)

You could list the broken board in the MM, see if someone wants it for spares/repair.
 
Not used a nice mobo since the P4 days, (P4C800-E) it IS nice to have a better board than the P5NE now:)

I bought the ebay board at 2am, I got all excited and bought on impulse, not like me...
It's weird that the board looks really normal yet doesn't work, maybe I should list it..
