Hi,
This is my current setup
1. Asus M3A79-T Deluxe motherboard
2. AMD Phenom II X4 940
3. ATI HD 4850
4. 2 x 2 GB RAM
5. 500 GB HDD
6. Sony Writer
7. VIP 500W PSU
(Currently I do not plan to OC and hence thought VIP would be sufficient enough)
(Also the motherboard dealer ensured me that he has updated the bios to support the AMD x4 940)
I connected all of the components, and the motherboard has 8 pin EATX Power connecter, with one half covered up so that I can use the 4 pin EATX power connecter provided by the PSU.
On connecting the power cable, I see that the motherboard's (currently not testing through front panel buttons) power and reset buttons glow. So the power supply is there to the mother board. But on pressing the power button, nothing happens. The PSU fan does not start, the CPU fan does not start, and I do not hear any beeps too.
I stripped out unnecessary ones, and tried both the following combinations
1. CPU, PSU, MB, 1 Stick of RAM, GPU
2. CPU, PSU, MB, 1 Stick of RAM
In all the cases it is the same, power/reset buttons glow, but on pressing the buttons nothing happens.
Currently I have following doubts
1. Is the PSU not at all working - the dealer did test it when it was given
2. Am i missing some connection to the board? - 4 pin EATX power connector and the 24 pin eatx main connector are connected correctly (as the buttons glow)
3. In case the MB bios is not updated to support the CPU, I can understand that CPU wont start, but would not PSU fan start at all ?
Sorry for the long message, but wanted to give as much as possible information
