Before I toss this mobo in the garbage can I thought I would throw this out there and get some ideas.
Here is what happened. I built a new system but I need the sata drive and sound card out of my old one to put in the new one. Replaced the sata with the ide drive that use to run the system ans was going to use on board sound as this computer was just gonna be use as a backup.
Well while I was in there I noticed the famous loops hold the north bridge cooler had come loose. So I gathered them up and I put a little glue on them and pushed them back into place. After it was dry I put the cooler back in place hit the power switch and I got nothing. No bios screen no nothing.
I reset cmos pulled the battery attempted it again and nothing. Could the glue be jumping something? I tested the video card in another machine and it works fine. I pulled some of the memory out and still nothing not even a blink. So I guess I have killed the board but I thought I would ask if anyone had any ideas. The only thing I can think of is something with the glue but I did not think it was enough to do anything.

well I moved the jumper and I took the battery out left it out a couple of days put it back in last night and now it will not even turn on at all. Before it would turn on just a blank screen but everything would come on. Now you hit the power button and it does nothing. The lights on the mobo are on so its still getting power. I have no idea what going on. The mobo has been rock solid for a long time and did not give me one issue until I went in and saw the north bridge cooler was loose and decided to fix it. I have looked over it and over it and don't see any burnt marks and it does not have any burnt smell. I am only using one stick of ram for testing and have moved it to different slots just to see. Unless the glue I used to hold the loops for the northbrige on is cross something out some how I am lost. Want to use it for a backup system but it about to be in the garbage system.
