Asus P5B DeLuxe WiFi AP

[billbruen]

I emailed Kevin again......

They're not giving too much away however.

His response was (to the effect) that my current PSU should be OK with a different (non Asus) mobo.

I take this to mean that they are accepting I may have an incompatibility, currently, and are prepared to help, just in case.

I don't care too much whether they hold their hand up officially or not: I'm just pleased to be getting some help, without being told to p*** off, because my seven days are up.

In any case, if the article (link) I posted earlier is correct, and I was asked to attribute 'blame' for how the 'incompatibility' occurred, I'd have to say that I think Asus are to blame for implementing a 'feature', apparently without warning/discussing the issue with the PSU manufacturers.

finlay666, the link I posted earlier said that Seasonic had now modified their design.

It could be you were lucky and myself unlucky, in what we got off the shelf.

try running on one stick of ram

i did still nowt
im not even getting to bios screen
when i take the ram out ( ie no ram) then there is a continual bleeping ?

[staffsMike]

I'm out of ideas then unless it is a short or something.

Tried each stick of RAM in each slot? sounds silly but one of mine needed a particular stick in a particular slot to boot.

when i push the on switch it nearlt starts and then stops , and then in 2 seconds starts the fans whizzing but no booting and fans keep going, i will have to try some other ram
