seems like the same problem with my Asus M3N-HT deluxe mempipe where the post hangs.. yes you can flash your bios with usb/pendrive with that board.

Well who knows that could be a max overclock that he is willing to push out of the chip, running at stock daily. Also who knows how new the Tt is. Pretty much just waiting on reply from snapshot. :p

My pc doesn't turn off right away, it stays on. I ran 3.35 for a couple months when I posted it in my system spec. Since then (around 3 months ago) I dropped the clocks down to 3.0 Ghz 24/7. I've been running the psu for 1 year exactly.

that is true some people do like to post there max overclock for epenis reasons.

You caught me...:laugh:

Quick question dose your pc turn on at all with the graphics cards just spinning up at like full speed, fans on, HD on, and you get no viedo becuase I have had that problem with both my asus motherboards turns out i need to get my 1K watt Thermaltake RMA'd but i havn't had time.

YES. with all hardware and fans the comp runs, but I have know idea what it is doing because I cant see it.

seems like the same problem with my Asus M3N-HT deluxe mempipe where the post hangs.. yes you can flash your bios with usb/pendrive with that board.

That is some good news and I also want to say again that I have had post problems in the past with this board, but after a couple of restarts it would work. Not this time:(

------
You guys might be right, maybe it is the psu. I have had problems with the psu before ( not sure if that was related to the post problems in the past. The Tt used to shut down when I was trying to achieve higher overclocks on my cpu and gpu's simultaneously.

I feel your pain t77snapshot. I was where you are a week ago.

Now let me ask how old is your PSU?

Edit: I just read the above posts and seen someone else already brought up the PSU.

are you sure its not your ram. bc i had the same problem my mobo would not turn on bc i had a dead stick of ram. i had to try each stick individually and reset the cmos each time until i found a stick that worked.

Try a different psu or turn your pc on and off like a hard shut down I would say keep all the hd unplugged and also push the graphic cards all the way in. What’s weird was when I was using my old motherboard I had the problem but as long as I got my pc to boot it ran fine. Since then I have completely gotten a new pc and I still have the problem but this one can be fixed by shutting off the switch on the back of the psu and turning it back on like a quick shut off where everything is about to power down and then you switch it and it powers back up by itself without pushing the on button. What would happen on my old setup was I would shut it down a few times sometimes it would take forever sometimes not and I would get the error like to many cold boot starts your system might be oc’ed improperly even though it wasn’t and then it would work also when I messed with bios setting the pc would do it again even a bios update didn’t fix my problem.

Update:

I was really hoping to was a bad psu and not the mobo, so I tried another power supply with the same results.(no monitor post) :( I guess my last option is to flash the bios.

You can't flash a bios on board that won't post UNLESS it is socketed and willing to hot flash from another working board.

It's VERY dangerous and could render the working board useless.

May want to RMA it.

It's not socketed so I will just RMA the board.

Thanks for your help-
