Hi..i need help on installing my new DFI LanParty DK 790FXB-M2RSH

i brought this new mobo along with:
1) Muskin HD Series DDR2 2x1GB
2) AMD Athlon x2 7790+ BE

to replace my old socket 939 mobo (MSI K8N Neo4-F MS-7125) paired with:
1) Kingston ValueRAM DDR400 2x512MB
2) AMD Athlon x2 3800+

things that i migrate from previous system is:
1) eVGA 7300 LE
2) Seagate ST3160811AS 160GB SATA
3) Samsung SH-D162C 16X DVD-ROM IDE
4) Samsung SH-S182D 20X DVD-RW SATA
5) PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad S75CF

after i install the mobo into my casing, i wont power up! the standby power led do lid..(mean theres power right?) but when i tried to turn it on using power button (on casing), it didnt power up. same goes to power button on the mobo..still wont power up..

can anyone please guide me step by step in the installation, or checklist on what need to be done for successful installation?

(or is there a possibility of hardware failure? )

add up: i use Power Logic Utopia U 3000 MX case..(but im positive that i get the front panel connection to mobo as stated in manual)

i assume debug LED no display..
make sure all jumpers are in right place.
did the chipset become warm after leave it powered a while?
try boot without memory and display card.

debug LED shows no display..
i didn't change the jumper so it should be in default..
as for warmth..i didnt check..i unplug the psu concerning it will damage my mobo..

p/s: LYP's DFI user..call-for-help..

this mainboard is quite choosy on ram. your Muskin HD Series is double or single side ram?
check the debug LED status on the mobo. refer to the mobo manual for error code.

any beeps when u press d power button? how bout tryin it w/ another psu? if there's no display on d debug led it could be d case that d board is not properly powered.

it was mentioned that there's no display on d debug led bro.

try to reset the bios 1st.experienced same problem when installed new mobo

welcome D user...

lets spread the D factor...

all the best with your DK...

waa bro, help to solve d problem 1st then only promote mah...

where is the other DFI DK user?
buat penat je i give link to this thread at amd oc thread...
come help him.. dun let him alone..

double side ram..brought from robyncom (one of the trusted seller here)..they said can match with 790FXB..
like mr. ah_khoo said..no LED status..

no beeps no nothing..the only response i get is the standby power LED..
let me get this right..the power needed by mobo is from ATX (location beside ram) and 12V power (near clear CMOS jumper)..is that it? any other power connection needed? (other that to HDD, Optical Drive, Fan and CPU Fan..)

same experience as mine? reset mobo by switching the reset BIOS jumper right?
will try later..

yeah..i brought it to fell the thrill but now...

tengah torong lah ni... banyak komplen plak...

how bout d 8 pins?



clearin cmos is not necessary coz all brand new boards are load optimized @ defualt unless someone tried d board & forgot to clear d cmos b4 it was passed to u.

ATX = 24pin
12V = 8pin..

then yes..i do plug in both..

anyway..thnx in advance guys..


p/s: at first excited to OC my 7790 BE..now nak power up pn xleh..haihh..

one more thing, check d position of both clear cmos jumper, just in case.

jumper checked..already in default position...

bro
dont worry...
last time da problem occurred
many times to me
try dis method

1. unplug ur psu pwr cable
2. unplug 24pin pwr
3.unplug 12v cable
4. clear cmos by out da battery.

w8 30s

plugged in back all cable

do you tried to try power up the mobo w/o casing? (in other word open-bench )

or do you check your psu 8pin connector(to cpu) snap-clip at the right angle?

unplug all the power (ATX + 8pin 12V + CMOS battery) works!
thanx everyone
n yes mr pikacu..i did it but pulling out everthing on the desk..easier to work with..

now im loading my system..everything runs well..until it ask to boot from cd..(i want to install new OS)
i press enter when Boot From CD appear..then screen goes black..

any experience on why this happen? i tried multiple XP cd..even change the drive it booted (between my DVD-ROM and DVD-R player)..still black screen..hope u guys can bail me out on this one too
