  5. Tiki, thanks for the diagrams. On one hand I'm a little disappointed, on the other hand I feel quite special using and understanding all this terminology and mixing in the thick and thin with you guys (the pros) and trying to figure this thing out.

    Am I officially inaugurated to the ES Geek Army yet? :p :D :D

    I am saddened by the news last night Steve Jobs resigned for health reasons. He is truly my idol. And that has been the case since he was 26!!!!! Imagining a geek could worth millions and millions at that age. I bought an Apple II+ in college. I loved it. But that was one and only Apple experience I had. Later on I refused to buy Apple computers because they closed out their systems (like "we have everything that you possibly need")... while I, being a geek myself, like to tinker with things. "Irreconcilable differences" is the reason for our separation. LOL :D

    Back to your new ASUS board: one option for you is to call their tech support and get some hint from them. They may be able to give you a short cut.

  8. Will be working on it a little later today; still holding positions, so don't want to get too distracted.

  10. Sam,

    Out of curiosity... ( so far sounds like you know what you are doing ) did you install the motherboard on the little peg risers ? They install on the case first, then the motherboard sits on them and gets screwed into them.
    Sounds silly, but if the mb is mounted direct to the case all the solder points on the back of the board will become one.


    edit: also make sure you check all the power to the motherboard and double check all power cables are connected. Probably so as it started already, but make sure and check the power supply to the mb and give a push on the connections to make sure they have good contact.



    The best way to troubleshoot is to check the simple most obvious points, then work deeper into the problem.
    Start with all connections, power switches/ buttons turned on, good contact at all points, run down each individual part of the computer to give an ok check.
