okay everycord is connected to its respctfull spot..but when i turn on the computer the all the fans start, light from ram and led fans come on, and the lights from the motherboard.

but nothing seems to work thats plugged into the motherboard...

my wireless keyboard and mouse reciever doesnt have th usuall light saying it sees the keyboard and mouse. And the biggest problem is that it doesnt even register a monitor.

iv tried many different monitors and taken the video card out (8800GTX) and replaced it, but it still doesnt even show up on monitor....i dont even know if it boots up or not...

please can someone help me out? if you needay info about my pc just ask ill post it all but right now i don tknow if that matters or not..

thank you in advance for any help you gave me
=D

Does the computer boot at all? Is the hard drive connected to the motherboard and the power supply cord plugged in to the hard drive?

is the mobo mounted properly, if it is not on the standoffs it could be shorting the mobo.
are there any loose screws that have got under the mobo, is the mobo touching the case?

yeah simply try pulling the cmos battery out for about ten minutes (how long i usually do it for) but if you take it out and then put it back in quickly that wont do anything, it has to be out for awhile

i have the exact same problem.
originally thought it was my graphics card.

so i tried 4 of them. same problem.
also noticed there are no lights on the mouse and keyboard.

i think it might be the motherboard itself.
i tried every combination of resetting it.
also re-seated the northbridge, southbridge and cpu cooler's.
no luck.

tried all different ram types. in all different slots.
still nothing.

im stumped and about to send it back to evga.

i have the same exact problem, except im using a crappy ECS mobo. i'm guessing it's either really is your mobo or something is not compatible and conflicts when connected.

the CMOS jumper is the 3 little pins somewhere on your mobo. there should be a plastic thingy that connects two of the pins together. pulling that plastic thing out resets it

its not connected to the PSU. it should be just 3 little pins and the base is red. they are the only red pin base on your mobo
