Find a 'known good' power supply and try that. Until you get through post, and the beeps, don't add anything to the motherboard, especially out of the box new stuff - these days, you are the mfg's QA.... and watch the RMA dates & rules. the build order is first power supply, then memory, then onboard video - see the bios, then the boot drive, then the other drives & cards --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
