Hi, I just built a new rig with a B-Grade Asus P5B-E Plus from OCUK, everything connected up fine and powered up, I eagerly connected a monitor and started the beast up, only to find that no matter what connection I used the machine would not boot, no beeps nothing although everything was spinning and running as it should. I gave the machine to my brother to test and he swapped various components into the new build, but found the exact same problem persisted. Now on swapping his processor back to his own pc he finds that it has the same problem as mine, will not boot with no beeps nothing on the screen.
So maybe I think it might have been my processor that has been the problem (or this motherboard), I have removed the battery from both motherboards and reset the jumpers but to no avail.
So now I have two machines that will not boot, does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can try next??
