Problems with mobo (i think)
Mosqwik
So i have a ASUS P5VDC-X mobo which worked great. Then i decided to
clean the parts, removing dust and such so i removed all the parts and
when i put them back the computer wont start. When i try to turn it on
it gets power (the CPU and PSU fans start spinning) but then instantly
turns off (fans stop spinning).
I tried plugging in the PSU in another computer and it works fine, as
does the CPU so those are fine. The RAMs are ok aswell so i came to the
conclusion that the mobo is at fault. I can not figure out what it is.
The only clue i have is that fter i had cleaned it and put back all th
parts i had a Jumper left over but after hours of trying different
stuff it doesnt work so i figured it was nothing important.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong or is the mobo damaged
because of static electricity? (Note that i didnt use any protection
against the latter because i havent had to before).
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I read some other guys thread (the "no power" thread) and i
basically have the same problem but i dont have a case, actually i
havent used a case for maybe one year with this computer and it still
has worked fine until now.
How do check if the mobo is fried?

thats your extra part.
If you've removed the heatsink...CPU ..you did replace the Thermal
Compound...right??

PEBKAC by the sounds of it.

If you press and hold the switch down it will do exactly as you describe
i.e. start up and then power down. I have a PC that does the same. When I
switch it on I have to 'flick' the switch to get it to pop out again or it
just powers itself down.

the board out, make sure it isn't grounded, you need to know where that
jumper came from.If you took all the jumpers off the board, you may have to
have a manual to get them back right, I drought the board is bad, something
else is going on. Down load a manuel from ASUS.com
