IC7 doesn't boot up

[ferro]

Hello, I assembled the pc with the Abit IC7 motherboard. The motherboard doesn't boot up: anything beep come from the speaker and nothing is displayed on the screen. The IC7 is regularly power supplied, all fans run and the D1,D2 status indicators light up. I checked the connections and I tried to test IC7 with two different video cards (Radeon 9500 e Matrox g400). I also disconnected all peripherals and I applied the troubleshooting methods suggested in the manual without success. Anyone can tell me other checks to do or other hints to solve the problem? I need help. Thank you very much. ferro

ps: my componets are:
CPU Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz 800Mhz FSB
2x256MB DDR Kingston Hyper-X PC3500
Sapphire Radeon9500
HD IBM deskstar 17 GB ATA100
HD Maxtor 80 GB SATA
DVD-R Pioneer A05
Artec DVD-ROM Drive 16x
Power supplier Chieftec atx 420W dual fan active

Did you plug in the 4 pin P4 power cable from the power supply (must be a P4 compatible power supply). This is in addition to the 20 pin ATX power cable.

Yep, I did and still no go,....I have an Antec 550 watt true control power supply so I know that that is not the problem...I have checked the memory and video card in other machines and they are ok....I am still troubleshooting components....I am waiting on another mobo to test the processor...all my other boards are for AMD's....any other suggestions are appreciated...

Thanks, Phasor

did you remember the Aux 4 pin connector on the mainboard? if so, they the mobo out of the case with the CPU, ram and a video card installed. connect the PS leads and no front panel leads and no drive ribbons and see what goes...
