Hi, i would really appreciate a minute of someones time


The story:

I tried to update my asus mb bios - failed midway and left it redundant.

I got a new one (gigabyte ep41-ud3l), installed it and the system didnt post or beep but all the lights came on, fans, hd light etc.

I sent it back and they sent me a new one which i installed today but am having exactly the same problem.

What can i do next - i dont think its the power supply as all fans/lights/mb lights etc are coming on.

Is it the processor? Will a system beep/post or do anything without a working processor?

If i get a new one do you think the system will post?

thank you so much!!
 
hmm

yeah but the system now hasnt booted with 3 motherboards? am i correct in saying a system wont post or beep without a working cpu?

ive ordered a new one anyway. i really hope it works!
 
Hi,

I am using only one stick of ram and i am no longer using the tuniq, im using the heatsink that came with the processor (e6600)

Ive also taken out the graphics card and get nothing. I have 4 sticks of the ram so i could try all of them to see if any will post but im sceptical.

i havnt tried it out of the case. i can try this maybe? all the cables are plugged in, i went through it thouroughly when i installed!

... in terms of beeps. the motherboard supports hd audio so i have plugged the audio group pin connector into the hd audio socket rather than use the individual audio pin connectors where the pwr, hd, rst pins connect
 
i managed to make it post.

i connected a power cable to my graphics card and also found out a module of ram was dead, at least im running now!!

thanks everyone who helped.
