 |
|
I have a new build I'm doing and I can't get the KN1 SLI Extreme mobo to
power on. I've tried using a 400 watt and 420 watt power supplies with
24 pin connectors onto the board. The NIC lights light up but I can't
get the fans to spin or anything else to do anthing. I don't have any
drives or anything installed besides the two 1GB Patriot DDR400 sticks
and an AMD XP 3400 CPU.
The weird thing is when I hook up an hold 350 watt 20 pin (not 24 pin)
I can get the mobo to boot up although since I don't have the video
card installed I don't know if it will post. But I don't really want
it too since 350 watts probably won't handle what I'll be doing with
it.

Are you testing the board in or out of the case?

Are you sure that the Barton CPU is compatable?

Athlon 64 3200+ (Rev.E4) 3200+ (512KB,,939) YES
Athlon 64 3200+ (Rev.E3) 3200+ (512KB,1000 MHz,939) YES
Athlon 64 3200+ (Rev.D0) 3200+ (512KB,1000 MHz,939) YES

My only suggestion is to try running it outside the case. For reasons I've
yet to understand, that's how I got my NFORCE3-A rolling. Something's
touching somewhere but I can't seem to see where - it might even be touching
inside the powersupply. Even more strange is that an old Asus P5A 300Mhz
is working inside the same case the NFORCE3-A will only work outside of.
Do you mount your motherboards with metal standoffs all the way around?

You're welcome. It's nice to be right sometimes. I was even hesitant to
post the suggestion because it seemed so unlikely, but since I had just been
bitten, I figured it was worth the shot. I just hope it was really that
problem and it's not just fooling you with some other intermittent factor.
My problem had me stumped for quite a while. I still haven't gotten back to
it. I put an old board in the problem case and planned to buy a new one for
the NFORCE3-A, just in case.
Just take comfort in the fact that in the old days of clone MB's, a short to
ground would have fried the board. Now it just triggers a polyfuse and the
machine shuts down.
