cant boot up

[fastedie]

hey all I just got a A7V600 from asus and put it all together and the dran thing trys to start and shuts back off Iam not sure why I have checked and rechecked until I turned blue and then I said I will try here to see if I might come up with something that Iam over looking the 20 pin
systems connection has some junk instruction I think that may be the problem I must have the wires wrong. but who knows? I dont.

When you say tries to start then shuts back off, what exactly does it do?
Do you get your motherboards splash screen, can you get to your bios, system speaker beep, fans start for half a second and quit, ect...?

Gots to give us a little more detail of what its doing.

[fastedie]

It starts the fans spinning and clks and goes off Blank screen no bios screen no speaker beep nothing just shuts down.

First make sure your CPU is in the correct orintation and check all the jumpers to make sure they are set correctly.
Did you buy the board new or used and have you tested the power supply on another system to make sure its in good working order?

[fastedie]

I got it from newegg today and the case too it came with a 350 psu I will check the board in another case that I know works thanks for all the help
undergroundtech tommorow I going to bed now. Lol

My IC7-Max3 wouldnt boot at first either, I had to clear the cmos for it to take off. Check the manual on your motherboard for how to clear it.

Also check for short circuits, reversed connections, excess electrical draw, and that you have a cpufan plugged in. clearing the CMOS is a good idea.

try reseating the memory as well. also, might want to make sure you have a speaker plugged into the speaker pins on your mobo as this will give you beep codes which can help tremendously when troubleshooting

I have put different ram in and the cpu is next so I will try that and I have took stuff that I know is good and put it on there and at first the fans were not turning I moved some wires on the 20 pin system connection and the fans fire up and shut right back off. as for the spearker I never heard any beeps It may be in the wrong place I also cleard the cmos I guess today I will redo everthing and try it

I moved some wires on the 20 pin system connection and the fans fire up and shut right back off. as for the spearker I never heard any beeps It may be in the wrong place

Ummm, you moved the wires around how? like switched places with other wires, or just jiggled them around or whatnot?

as far as the speaker, double check your motherboard manual for the pinout.

[fastedie]

It was the wires in the wrong place I moved them like the ones on my A7N8X and the only differenc was the HDD LED. But she runs now I just Have to get a new hard drive for a raid set up not IDE or figur how to dis able the Raid It looks for the SATA drives and I dont have any yet. Live and learn I say. Lol Thanks for all the help.

[undergroundtech]

You should be able to dissable your SATA controller in the bios, can't remember what part it would be under.
I would recomend reading you mobo manual, front to back.

I'm not big on reading instructions either, but this is not the place to skimp :wink:

[fastedie]

I hear you. Its in the book just have too read how to do it Lol well I went to the web site and was looking around and they say you can not disable the raid so I guess I will have to get some SATA HD and it likes two at a time. So I didnt win the Ram so i will just buy me some SATA HD
Thanks for the info
