Forgive me Gurus for I have sinned. It's been quite a while since my last post and for this transgression, I am most remorseful! :>D
I have a problem with a system I'm building that has me baffled. When the ATX12V1 is connected, the system will not power-up. When I disconnect it, the system will power-up but not post. No beep, nothing on screen, but the drives spin up, the cpu fan starts spinning and obviously the PSU fan starts spinning. I have had situations with some mobo's where just the opposite is true (no ATX12V1 connected, no power-up) but not this situation. I've tried 3 diff. PSU's and the problem is consistent. I have attempted to power-up the board naked with nothing but the CPU fan connected as well as with varying hardware configurations to no avail. Any insight into this will be most appreciated.
System:
ECS 945GCT-M/1333 Mobo
3.4 GHz P4 Core2-Duo
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
500W PSU
On-board everything
WD 300GB 7200 Hard Drive
