New motherboard M3N-HT... no post

[Ethan3.14159]

I bought a new motherboard today. Asus M3N-HT 780a. The computer does not post anymore, no beeps whatsoever. It just sits there with the fans going. It turned on once before, and when I went to turn it back on it didn't post. I thought it may be my power supply or my motherboard.

Thanks in advance, Ethan

Just had a Gigabyte do the same thing, its a year old though. Just booted it up, nothing but fans. I changed everything out. RMA it to Gigabyte.

Have you tried resetting the bios or popping the battery of for a minute.

It works now, thanks. However the monitor now says "out of range" and I can't figure out how to reset the resolution.

It might be in a BIOS flash, it might not... you could start it up in Safe Mode (if you use windows) and the change the default resolution from there.

Does that come up as soon as it starts, or pops up when windows starts to load? If when windows start to load you could try safe mode.

If it happens right when it starts, you've got a seriously screwed up monitor, cable, or graphics card, because the BIOS resolution is tiny...

If you can, try the display in a different computer, see if you have the same problems. If you do, it might be the cable. If not, its something in the graphics card (most likely)
