8RDA+ problem

[chrislip]

I have moved my 8RDA into another case today and cannot get the machine to boot at all. As soon as I power it on I get the FF code on the POST LED readout and no speaker beeps. I have tried with another processor, removed the board from the case and tried it there - no joy. I have removed the battery and set the CMOS jumper to the reset position and have no luck there either. Any suggestions?

Motherboard shorting with new stands?

New case-is it the same psu or new one?

What happens if you put it back into the old case?

Unplug system from wall sockert. Remove power supply cord from board, remove JLCK jumper near cpu socket, leave off, clear CMOS again for at least one minute, remove all memory, reinstall one stick in slot one, remove and reinstall video card, reset cmos jumper to normal, hook power cable back up to motherboard, double check all connections, power up, if it boots, get into bios, LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS, save and exit bios, let it boot again, then do what you need to do........................good luck.

Ok fixed it, it was the PSU - seems it couldn't handle the power needed. Note to self - Do not buy cheap case with PSU included, they are ****!!
