From: Fabien Voland on 12 Aug 2010 12:48 Hi, I installed a new system with motherboard Asus P6T. But when I turn on the PC, all the fans run, HD start, but nothing on the screen and no beep, no keyboard, nothing else. I have a 525W PSU. In the doc, it recommends a 600W PSU. The problem then would it ? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Fabien

And just how good is this 525W PSU, meaning just how was it rated, i.e., max power, continuous power, etc.? If this PSU is a "typical", plain one, not only is it underpowered by Asus's recomendation, the PSU might not be suitable for a high-end motherboard based on the Intel X58 chipset, i7 (LGA1366) CPU and triple-channel DDR3 RAM. Second thought. How good is the RAM and how much installed?

Still, that may *not* be the source of the problem you're seeing right now. In the same situation, I'd remove all but the absolute minimum hardware needed to get to the bios utility. Processor with cooler, a single dimm (in the right slot!), no option cards save for a single graphics card, and no drives of any kind (mag, optical, ssd - whatever, disconnect them all). If you still can't get to the bios herald, it *may* still be a power capacity problem, but it might be the motherboard mounting (for instance) or something else (memory in wrong slot, processor improperly installed in its socket, graphics card not seated properly - or something is outright defective). Good luck... /daytripper

How good is the RAM and how much installed? Hi, 3 x 2048. 6 GB. Kingston HyperX. Fabien
