I have an asus p5b mobo... today i replaced the psu (to an Antec 500w Earthwatts) and the cpu (to a q9650). According to the Asus website the p5b board is compatible with the q9650. So I hooked everything up, plugged the power cord into the psu and then hit the power button.... nothing, silence. The green LED on the mobo is on so I assume it's getting power. I cleared the CMOS by removing the battery and by moving/moving back the RTC/CMOS jumper. I hit the power button... nothing. I remove all of my RAM except 1 stick... hit the power button... nothing.
Then I install the old cpu and old psu and go through all of the same steps and.... nothing, even though the system was working perfectly earlier today.
What could be the problem? I assume that just because the green LED is on that doesn't mean the mobo is in 'perfect' working order? Are there any other possibilities? Anything else I should try?
Thanks.
