My A7N266-E is dead new?

[OC-Master]

I need some quick responses here!

I have narrowed the problem down to the motherboard or ram. I have the Hard drives/floppy/dvd all detatched and I have swapped processors to comfirm it wasnt the falt of the CPU. Then I tried booting the system and still no luck!

The problem is that when I turn the computer on, NO BEEPS, just a screen of colours and scanlines scrambling everywhere. I think the nForce is defective or at least the graphics portion of it??

I have an XP1500+ and Micron PC3300 memory installed. I made sure it wasnt the PSU so i swapped with my other one which works!, and still the same results.


Anyone else here with me on believing the motherboard is defective?

clear cmos by removcing the battery and get some lower ram.....


I thought my a7n266 was dead when I got her too - turned out to be the CPU.

basically CMOS holds the info needed to start your rig - all your oc settings are ''remembered'' in your cmos - by removing the battery it wipes that memory and forces ALL settings back to a defualt stage... so if you screw up - this is your eraser!

Sent the board back to the plant, and the ram tested fine @ the store.

whats the fan like, mine just has a small lame northbridge fan

If you look in my other thread on the ASUS mobo section, the fan is a large sucker that spins @ 5000RPM. Pretty nice, and 172MHz FSB is the highest I can get stable without going to extremes.
