Asus A8V Deluxe Problem

james33440 · 11-03-2005, 11:13 PM

Okay, I bought a brand new Asus A8V Deluxe mobo from newegg a few days ago along with the majority of the system below in my signature....

Now, upon boot-up, nothing happens. I don't hear anything. Not even the PSU humming or any sound. The LED on the mobo does light up green and stays that wait for as long as I leave it.

I haven't tried reinstalling it yet because I have to go to work. However, tomorrow, once I get home I will do so. I just thought I could post this to see if anyone has suggestions....

Okay, so I reinstalled everything to know avail... I even tried connecting just the power and ATX connectors and once the power switch on the PSU is flipped on, then the LED comes on without pressing any power switch. This was with the mobo sitting on an anti-static pad out of the case...

Now, I had problems with the Epox board I had prior to this as well. Actually, I never got this new pc to work because somethings always messed up. I am starting to believe that it could be the PSU on the case... I bought the case from newegg with the PSU. It's the Antec Sonanta II with the 450-watt PSU. Think I should try to RMA this and try a new PSU? First, I am going to try a friend's PSU out and see what happens....

does the pc boot up? because, i dont really understand whats the problem yet.

Okay, first I was having the trouble of the PC not booting up at all. NOW, I FINALLY got the PC to boot up. I can get into the BIOS settings, I even overclocked it a bit, LOL. However, my WinXP OS will not load up. I recall seeing some words towards the top of the screen about the Fasttrak Controller and another about a Promise Controller can't find the disks and there was no bios installed. I tried disabling the Sata and the Promise feature but it still gives the same error and doesn't boot up.

Also, my CD-RW shows up on the list as it being recognized in the BIOS (as well as my 2 IDE hard drives). However, I can't get my Boot Manager cd nor my WinXP disc to load. I was going to try to reinstall WinXP and reformat the drive....

Any ideas?

maybe your mobo has outdated bios try downloading a bios utility for your mobo maybe this will solve your problem

Well first of all, DONT overclock on first boot. Set everything back to the optimized defaults.

james33440 · 11-05-2005, 09:34 PM

Yeah, I already resetted the CMOS to defaults but I still get the same problem.

I believe the BIOS is the latest from what I saw but I can't recall the exact version. I think it was like 1013 or 1015 or something like that.....

Well, I got great news! I reformatted the old hard drive and well, since I did that I went ahead and bought my friend's 40GB hard drive for $20.

I am loading WinXP back onto my new PC with all my new hardware.... I can't wait.
