Solve : Startup trouble?

1.	Solve : Startup trouble?
Answer» Hello- I just changed a bad chipset fan on my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board and now I can't get it past the Asus splash screen. It will not allow me to ENTER setup by hitting "del" on the keyboard either. The Asus splash stays onscreen, it doesn't go black or anything. Also no beeps, no error message...no clues! Has anyone got any suggestions of what I can try? Thank you for any help! *Running XP pro Did you remember to use thermal paste ? ? Here... Are you sure the CPU and heatsink are seated properly? Did you re-check all power connections ?Quote from: patio on February 06, 2008, 01:56:52 PM Did you remember to use thermal paste ? ? Here... Are you sure the CPU and heatsink are seated properly? Did you re-check all power connections ? The REPLACEMENT chipset fan Asus sent me had some thermal paste on it with an adhesive cover over that, which of course I removed first All connections have been triple checked.I just checked everything again, all connections are solid.

It seems as if the keyboard isn't responding (no lights and no response) so I tried a different keyboard and still nothing. Both keyboards I tried are PS/2. Is this how it could react if that chipset on the board fried when the fan went out?That question would be best answered bu Asus... No beeps means it is hanging during POST and getting no further.

In case someone RUNS into this problem, here is what I did: I unplugged all drives from the board, removed all but one RAM, unplugged everything from the PC except the monitor, power and ps/2 board. It let me in to BIOS, so I began adding items beginning with the 3 USB devices I have and it's my printer that is hanging it up. Go figure Good to hear you're running...that advice has been posted here many times. Glad it worked for you.
