Asus P4C800-E Rev 2

[NYCSTE2003]

Hello anyone reading

some problems, i cannot get to post or any screen display, i tired to boot it up with a generic Powersupply and a celeron 2.4 along with one stick of muskin 3500 and two video cards one pci and another agp

did i do something wrong, i dont wanna take about my main rig before i know this mobo is working alright

any comments would be great, im bascially wondering if there are mins that will work with this board, does it have to use a HT CPU, or a certain RAM speed or AGP i ready something about a min volt, any comments would really help thanks

First I would try booting with just one video card. If that works, you know there is a conflict with 2 video cards. Next I would try to boot with just the hard drive and one video connected. If you are still getting nothing to video out and the computer is not booting, I would think it is either the psu is no good or the motherboard.

Are the fans on the cpu and video card and such all spinning up? And, did you attach both leads of the power supply to the mobo?

everything appears to be working, i tried the video cards in three different ways, one agp, one pci and then both, and everything else remained the same, and yes again everything else appears to be working
i read somewhere else that the stock intel heatsink messes up this mobo for some reason and doesnt allow it to work, soo i will get around to testing another cpu soon but till then no changes will be made thanks for ur help

Check under the board, behind the cpu, and see if your board has like a Glob of solder there. Some folks with this board have that, and short of an rma,(as the board will short out to the tray), a piece of thin foam rubber attached there seems to be a quick fix. Not sure this pertains to your situation, if not sorry.

I just purchased this board and have been unable to get it to post or display screen with a 2.6c and Mushkin PC3200 Level II. It will only post with some cheapo Kingston pc2700. I'm still looking for some help with this problem.
Also, as egale stated make sure your power supply has the 4 wire 12v connector and it is connected. That was my first lesson with this board because my Gigabyte 8INXP had the connector on the board but it didn't need to be connected and quickly realized that the ASUS does require it and my Antec 400w power supply didn't even have the 12v lead.

Go into Bios and Loosen up your Memory Timeings. Make sure your Ras to cas is set to 3 not 2 Good Luck

GNY thanks for your help but if u could read i got no video out, soo i cannt get into bios or anything of that sort
i returned the board, not sure if i wanna upgrade yet

The two main reasons boards fail to show POST are:
1.) it's grouded on the back, as in you have a mounting stud contacting a trace because there's no hole there
2.) on or more IDE cables are backwards

When you return a board, an honest place will retest it and sell it as a refurb. This causes them to loose money, a cost they pass onto the rest of us. Thousands of people returing working parts because they're clueless adds up to all of us paying several dollars more for nearly every part we buy.

I would have suggested you take it to an expert to have it diagnosed, if you can't figure out 1.) or 2.) or find neither usefull.

This might sound remote, but it happened more than once on my P4C800D. Your board, like mine, has no AGP lock - part of AGP slot that hooks under your video card to prevent it from pulling out. When I was testing different memory sticks, repeated pushing on the DIMM slots would sometimes push the whole board enough to pull away from the video card. The result was that the computer would run but had no video. Thought it was faulty memory until I took a close look and saw this happening. I love this board, but I hope ASUS fixes this in the future.
