cpu failure symptoms

asus a8n32 problems?

I got a new board and put it all together.. couple gigs of ram, dual core cpu, twin video cards, bunch of drives.. when I power up all the fans spin, I can hear the drives spin up, the system gets warm, but no beep and no video. I tried a new video card, put the cpu into my old board to test it.. it was just fine. I know the ram is good, it works in other systems, I disconnected everything except the cpu and the monitor, reset the bios.. tried everything. The only thing I found to be out of line is the PSU. I got a 430 watt and they recommend at least 500 watts. Is the boot failure I’m experiencing due to the lack of power? Does this sound normal, I mean I’ve run lots of systems on a crappy old 250 watt psu with no problems. does this board have some wierd power circuit that wont let it boot? I tried it with a different board of the same make and thought it was defective and took it back and exchanged it for this one and I got the same symptoms. Anyone had this problem on this board?

You need more power Scotty!! Come on, you get a decent board – then you want to cheap it by not getting the proper power supply. What’s up with that?

CPU Temperature is Hot
