Hi,

Sorry this is somewhat off topic but it's DIY in a sense and I've
always found the computer knowledge base in this NG extremely helpful
and well informed.

I've just installed a new Intel DJ35JO mobo + Duo E6600 in an old case
that I've had around for a while, the PSU is a relatively new 24 pin
ATX 500v . The processor + fan were already installed so I plumbed in
the board, PSU (both 4 pin and 24 pin plugs) + 1GB memory and fired up
to see if it it was working ok. Both LEDs on the board lit to show they
were functioning ok but the system doesn't boot to the BIOS nor is
there any output to the monitor. There are no POST beeps either - just
silence. I tried removing the memory card and booting and that did
elicit the expected 3 beep no memory warning so I'm sure the board is
ok.....

I'm kind of stuck at this point, can anyone provide me with a way
forward?

Cheers
Thanks Everyone, problem sorted. Not to sure what exactly it was but
resetting the CMOS and reseating the memory got everything going. Still
no POST beep though!!

Have you plugged the speaker in? Newer Intel motherboards tend not to
have the on-board sounder.
