I recently bought a new mobo:
ASUS P4V8X-MX Socket 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131573
When I boot it goes to the ASUS splash screen (hit DEL to enter SETUP, etc.) and freezes there. At this point there is no response from the keyboard at all. This doesn't matter whether it is a PS2 keyboard or USB. I've reset the CMOS multiple times according to the directions in the manual (removed battery, changed jumper for from 5 secs ~ 5 min), reset jumper, reset battery, same result. I never even get to the memory checksum. All fans spin fine. Holding down DEL, F5, etc. does nothing while the system is booting. The mobo does give one beep when booting up.
I know my other components all work because I tried them in another rig and they worked fine. I'm thinking the issue may be an incompatible CPU. I have a P4 2.4 Ghz, but that's all the info I have on it. Actually, I have two of them, neither work with this mobo but both worked with the other rig.
Specs:
1x ASUS P4V8X-MX motherboard
1x 512 MB PC2700 333 RAM
1x 1GB PC2700 333 RAM
1x ATI Radeon 9800 AGP
1x 20 GB Western Digital HDD (unknown rpm)
1x 20 GB Maxtor HDD (unknown rpm)
2x P4 2.4 Ghz CPU (see above)
1x 500w PSU
1x SB Live sound card
1x DVD drive
I'll be calling ASUS tech suport when I get home from work, I just wanted to see if you guys could help out in the interim. Thanks.
