    Motherboard won't start-Mobo or CPU?

    Paparazi, I think the CPU works fine. We tried to start the mobo with another socket A CPU and it did the same thing, plus the mobo has a feature where it would shut down if it felt any overheating on the CPU (it would not stay on for more than 3 seconds before the thermal grease was on)...

    Motherboard won't start-Mobo or CPU?

    I added thermal grease to the CPU and it now stays on. It sounds like the hard drive is running, the CPU fan is running and all the mobo lights are on. However, nothing is comming up on my monitor at all. I already removed all PCI cards and drives except for the HDD. The mobo manual says it's a...

    I just got an ASUS A7V8X-X with an Athlon XP 2400. When I turn on the power supply the Mobo power light will come on. However, when I try to boot the machine the CPU fan will come on like it's trying to start but then it stops and won't do anything else. I already check the memory installation...

    There were no sparks at all comming out of the power supply. All the sparks came out of the center of the mobo where a couple of seconds later the flame came out. I did see a litlle bit of smoke come out of the HDD cable or around the HDD area but my HDD is brand new (out of the box). Thanks...

    I think my power supple only has one fan. Do you anticipate any problems? and if so what would be a possible solution for that? I do have two case fans. Would that make any difference?

    Motherboard Problem?

    I don't think I loaded anything right before the modem problems. The weird thing is that after I had problems with my HDD I installed a second HDD that I wasn't using on my system and then tried to upgrade the current OS(Win 98) on that HDD to Win XP. As a result my other HDD also got messed up...
