Asus A7V600-X

[shelly]

Ok Gang see if you can help me out here, my old motherboard fried on me and I had to get a new to fit my amd 2500 barton cpu A socket. First I thought it was my grafix card but that I was told is ok. now heres the problem:- after installing my new motherboard and checking that all my connections where right I get nothing on the monitor ie no bios. just a blank screen, the cpu fan run ok the cpu is ok. anybody got any ideas ? oh and I get 1 single beep when I do a warm reset. Iam baffled

The single beep code is a sign that all is ok. Look at the manual to see if the clear cmos jumper isnt in the clear position as well as try a different video card in it.

well I did a clear CMOS as indicated in the book, I also checked the ram its ok the only problem is I dont have a another graphics card to check it my new one is a pci express and the old one is agp. the only thing I noticed is that Asus needs a 1.5v graphic card and I dont know what my old one is, its a radeon 8500 couldnt find the specs for it.

[Mobo]

First look to make certain the mobo isnt grounding on the case, reseat the ram and go with only one stick. Alternate for more than one. Reseat all ide cables.

Also Shelly, did you apply the thermal paste properly ? If not then redo that as well because that mobo has a heat or power setting that will not let it boot if the heat is too high.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem.I took RAM apart from motherboard.When i attached it.There was a black screen on monitor.Could you show me where is the cmos jumper to reset my bios?Or do you have any ideas to solve this problem?

[Mobo]

I cannot find an image to help you but I can say that there will be a cmos jumper close to the cmos battery. With the pc off switch the jumper to off then attempt to power up the system. Then shut it down, switch the jumper back to where it was and retry starting it.

Thnx for answering friend.But i didnt work.As i said before,i tried RAM and Graphic Card in another board and they worked together.I tooked CPU apart from motherboard,and i attached again.I see motherboard's light on.Is it possible some parts of motherboard can be burn?Do you have another ideas?

[Mobo]

The power light comes on that is located by the ram sticks is that right ?

Now if there are any other modules attached to the board like a sound card, usb card etc then remove them all and just try the ram and garphics card that you know do work. If still nothing then its either the cpu or mobo that is bad.

Hi again.
I did everything what it could be.But nothing's changed.I think it is about CPU.What would you advise me to buy new CPU for ASUS A7V600 X?In Asus official site,they say Amd Athlon 3200+?By the way,thank you for quickly answering
