I just purchased and putting together a P4PE Asus Motherboard with Intel P4 1.8 GHZ/400FSB CPU combo fan heaksink, PC2100 DDR 512 mb memory, Tornado Geforce 4 MX440 SE 128mb SDR Video Card, 7200rpm 40 Gig Western Digital Harddrive, Artec CD-RW 52x-24x-52x CDRom Drive, PowerMagic500 Model EB-500P Power Supply (500Watt), Windows XP (when we get it to boot to install it!) It will not post to monitor, have tried everything, I even swapped out with working memory and video card and powersupply and keyboard and still the same thing. I also took everything out, tried to boot with one thing at a time, tried just basic, memory cpu video, still get nothing, no beeps, no post. Although, I get a long continuous beep if you put the memory in bank one or two and when I put it in bank zero where it goes I do not get any beeps, or post, nothing. Can anyone HELP??? Any other Ideas?

1st make sure all hardware is positioned correctly. Then read the manual and make sure any jumpers on the board are in their correct positon. I've had a similar problem with an asus board that I thought was jumper free,but there was a jumper to set the system for either manual or jumper free mode.

Did that already too... only 2 jumpers on the board. set both of them... and the third was clear cmos and I tried that too. Reseated everything three or four times, just to make sure.
