Well, i thank you for your help.

My PSU: Antec 550w 0.8a min 24a max AMPs. Look bub, i never claimed to know a lot about this stuff. My buddy on the other hand pretty experienced. after i left this thread i asked him what he shorted. It is the POS and NEG on the power button jumpers that you short. What that does is sometimes when you get a new mobo, the capasitors are full (I dont know which ones) and need discharged. It workes, he did it to my shit before. I know what my system specs are and mean, and im not trying to talk the talk/ walk the walk. I am asking for help. I wouldent be here if i knew what i was doing. There is nothing wrong with no knowing, but there is something wrong with jumping in someones shit because they do somthing that you dont agree with.

o no, the little green LED on the mobo is on when i plug in the power cord. When i press the button, nothing happenes, no noises no nothing. Just lights are on.

Well i got a new motherboard. Got it installed and all the wires connected right. Press the power button, and nothinghappens. The same thing happened when i first got my other motherboard, and my buddy discharged a capasitor or shorted something. and it worked. just wondering what i could do to make it work.

booooo.. well that sux, i bought about a year ago from a buddy. thnx for the help tho. now i know i gotta start shopping for a new mobo. Just hope my wife lets me

rma it? what does that mean?

Just to start: I have a ASUS SK8'N Motherboard, AMD Opteron 1.8, NVIDEA 6600 VC, 1g ram, Win XP Pro. Last night i turn off my computer. When i turned it back on this morning, the puter would turn on, but no dice with the screen. So i figured it was my monitor. I pluged my monitor in my wife puter, and it works. So its not that. I traded out my Video card with a different one, and same blank screen. So it cant be that. I traded out my hard drive, and same problem. I can hear the puter reading and making the same boot up noises it always makes, so i know that it is actually loading. I just cant see it. If its not my Monitor or my Video Card, what could it be?
