When I start the board with ONLY a 2.4 GHz Celeron, and one 256MB SMT (smart modular technologies) RAM I get a blinking Power LED, and nothing else.
when I put the same 2.4 GHz CPU and RAM into my other Biostar P4M80-M4 it starts up for just a second, fans spin, then shuts off. And I have to restart the PSU to get it to do that again.
I tried using different RAM, like some Kingston 512 cards and such, and 2 different PSUs (both of which succesfully power 2 other PCs) but I can't get this thing to POST. I've also reset the BIOS on both boards.
I don't know what else to do. I NEED one of them to work. Could it be the CPU? should I try it with another 478 P4? on that note, anyone have an old one they wouldn't mind sending my way for a few bucks?
