So i finally got my CPU from AllThis4Free yesterday and put it into my new system. When i powered it up, i got no beeps or video. All the fans are running and it checked the dvd and hard drives. Any ideas? Here are the specs.
Asus A8N-sli deluxe mobo
AMD 64 +3500 CPU
eVGA 6600GT PCI-E 128MB
1gb Corsair XMS memory
250gb sata seagate drive
enermax 420w PSU
NEC DVD rewritable drives

Is the MB compatible with the chip?
Do you have an OS?
Did you use Arctic Silver?
Are you sure you got everything seated and fully connected?

Yes the chip and MOBO are compatable.
I have a windows CD in the drive, but nothing installed yet.
What is Artic Silver?
I rechecked every connection and everything already.

... did you forget to put in the 500 watt power supply? I have told you 1000 times... 20 watts is NOT enough!

Arctic Silver is a compound used to disperse heat from the CPU. It's muy importante, though likely not a reason you wouldn't POST.

I solved the problem. Posting this from my new computer. I had forgoten to plug in the 4 pin power to the mobo. Stupid me.
I used the thermal stuff that came with my Thermaltake CPU fan.

Ok, aside from calling him stupid (he did something stupid, it doesn't mean he's a stupid person, ahem) I laughed.
Shame on me. ;)
