Help!
my brand-new X38-DQ6 has a Q6600 CPU with 2x2Gb PC2-8000 G.Skill DDR2 RAM, a Radeon 1900XT and an Enermax Liberty 650w PSU. I have checked and rechecked all connectors for power and can find nothing wrong, but the machine will not POST. When the power is turned on it starts up and fans turn on for about 5 seconds, then everything powers off and will repeat this behavior - power on, power off.. over and over until you shut off the power to it. There is no video either - is there something wrong with the motherboard, memory or CPU?
I have already tried pulling the CMOS battery to reset it, and changing the RAM to a single stick and different banks - the board behaves the same no matter what. I have found mention of problems with a recent BIOS (version F4?) on another webboard, but I don't even know what version would be installed on this board from the factory since it has not POSTed once yet.
