I recently replaced my cooked Asus socket A motherboard with a ASRock K7S41GX socket A 426 and My system will not boot.
I followed all the steps setforth in the user Manual including CHECKING the boards cpu fsb which is set at 333mhz as was my old board and Ram pc 2700 ddr333 which is correct also.
I've replaced serval motherboards in the past without and real issues yet for some reason when I power this one it refuses to boot-up.
When I power up the cpu fan comes on, as well as the power led and HD led. You can hear the harddrive start but thats it.
I've tried disconnecting the harddrive and I still can even get the system bios. Could my cpu have been cooked when my Old board shorted at the lower two atx connectors?
This really has me stummped because I'm fairly certain its something I can fix easily.DOUBLE and triple check all connections.
Are you sure the RAM wasn't damaged when the old MOBO died?
Do you have another mobo you could use to test them?Quote from: Deerpark on July 12, 2008, 09:20:53 AM

And then do it again!

Is new board "new" or used? If used, are you sure that it worked before?

What happened to the old board? Have you tested the: PSU, RAM, CPU, harddrive, video card in another known good system? Hard to tell what may have gotten "cooked," but, I would advise verifying your components before spending a lot of time troubleshooting; although, I think that I might remove and re-seat the RAM and do the same with the CPU.
