6.Make sure your power supply is ATX 12V compliant.

The system power-up, no video, no beeping sound heard, but the CPU fan is turning.

1.Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for more info on how to clear the CMOS).

2.Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any).

3.Check if the CPU is ok by using another CPU (check the Quick start guide for CPU supported on this M/B).

4.Check if the power supply is ok. The minimum should be 350 watts.

5.Make sure the CPU fan is connected to CPUFAN1 connector.

6.Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might be shorted to the case.

7.Change the VGA card. If you have used a 3.3V AGP card, the M/B might be damaged.

The system power-up, no video, beeping heard.

1.Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for more info on how to clear the CMOS).

2.Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B has any).

3.Check the memory module and the VGA card if they are inserted properly in the M/B.

4.If yes, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure the memory specification is supported by the M/B. (for more info on this, check our FAQ website).

5.Change the VGA card. Make sure the AGP card is 1.5v
