I just bought new computer left it on sat nite on sun dead. green light is on permanently and the fan goes for three seconds and red light on front button then all dead again
 
Bring it right back to the dealer! You probably have bad chipset. It should be covered over dealer's warranty.
 
thanks for your help problem is it cost me 100 dollars to send there and back again as that not covered under warranty i appreciate your advice.
 
OUCH! Alright. A friend recently went through that nuisance when a replacement board saw the same crap that the one ordered did. The vendor received a bad lot. The advice when asked was to select either another model or brand. The choice was another model that has been running well since. But under their warranty see if they will send out a replacement board for your system before shipping the entire system back. That will save on S+H with only the board being sent out to them.
 
Send the board back for a different model. My friend's case ran into this with the Asus A8N SLI Premium. He swapped models and was then set. The dealer probably got a bad lot of that model board.
 
thanks pc eye i will e mail them and ask if i can do that as sounds like the best way to go thankyou very much for your time
 
They may send a replacement out before you even ship the bad one back to see if that gets you up and running. This of course will depend on their return policies. A good vendor usually wants to keep a good rep with the customer. Let us know how you do.
 
i will but from all accounts not good people and take months to do anything so wish me luck and beware of not so good ebay sellers lol
 
EBAY!(ut oh) Hopefully the next time you will go to newegg, mwave, zipzoomfly, even TigerDirect despite some complaints, or just some place with a known rep. rather then picking an unknown at random on ebay. Certainly hope you see results there.

Sorry to be off topic w/ someone elses thread but, what kind of problems? I ask because I have an ASUS A8N-SLI and am wonering if I should look out for anything.
 
If your board saw no issues at the start you won't have to worry. The new case being put together at the time went through two A8N-SLI Premium model boards that saw "nothing at all" when first powered up. When the vendor was first contacted the advice to update the bios was proven pointless since both the first and replacement where fooooo bbaarrr! Upon asking what should be done when asked about it I stated that either a different model or different make and model should be the choice. A different model Asus board was selected with the vendor sending out that before the two foobarred defect boards were returned. The vendor noted that a bad lot of that model board was the likely cause.
 
Is that power pack as in laptop or power supply for a desktop? From your descriptions it sounded like you were running a desktop model.
