Hello,
New build. Used (working) parts. When connecting PSU, the CPU and system fans spin and stop continuously. The green power led stays lit. There is a red led for AMT that is on and off as power seems to cycle. No post or any beeps.
I've tried removing the battery to reset the cmos. Same thing. Tried a second PSU. Tried with and without RAM. Etc. Even tried connecting a network cable to LAN to see if I could get this thing to boot from LAN or reset state. I get a nic led to light but nothing.
When I press the power switch for 10-15 seconds the "cycle" stops and nothing happens excepts green light. A button press just restarts fans and stop again. I'm thinking the board is bad or the bios is stuck in some sort of state.
CPU = Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13GHz
RAM = G.SKILL F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ PC2-8000 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1000 CL5-5-5-15
I've been struggling to get this board (bought on ebay) up and running. I've build systems for years but this thing is a challenge (for me anyways).
Help please.
