EP45T-UD3LR: No Boot, No Beep, All Phase LED On

[MrSmith]

Hey All,

A buddy of mine recommended replacing the motherboard to resolve the issue above.  I recieved the replacement a couple of weeks ago and everything is working well.  I just wanted to post the solution in case someone else was having similar issues.

Thanks for all the help!

Its been a year that i had the system overclocked at 3.6 GHz, therefore,yesterday I was using my pc then i went to work. when i came back wasnt working anymore. Pc was on but nothing in the screen. When I restarted it all i got was:

1) Phase LED's all on
2) Case fans on
3) NO beeps
4) CPU fan spins continuosly

I have tried to start up without the graphics card and then i get the beep.

Is the graphic card the problem? what should i do?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
It would seem so from your description that the GPU is at fault however first make sure that it is seated well in the slot and that it is receiving the external power properly. I would advise trying another one first just to confirm that is the problem.

Yes it would be best if you could test with another graphics card to be sure that is the issue.

Same issue here

cpu e7500
corsair xms3 ram (1600 at 9-9-9-24 1.65v)
ati 5670
ocz 500w psu

the system runs fine on my pentium d 805

i've tried bios revisions F1 and now F10 usinhb the e7500 and same problems as described above by others. i've tried every possible conceivable combination of memory sticks (none, 1 stick, 2 stick, all possible slot combinations).

ive tried ripping everything out except the atx and cpu power (including cpu fan of course)

have tried reseating the cpu over 20 times

ive tried it out the case, in the case, back out the case, back in the case, out the case and back in again.

ive tried resetting bios. booting with the d805 chip, numerous different bios settings, then putting in e7500 and nothing.

all in all ive put about 20 hours into trying to get the e7500 working and its now down to sending the processor back (at my cost no doubt) or sending mobo back, which seems to have fixed it for others. either way, im super pee'd off!!!
ideas?

Yes I think that in the circumstances it would be best to just RMA the board. If you bought the board and CPU from the same place see if you can arrange for them to take them both back together for testing.
