Purchased one at the weekend with a C2D E6400.
Motherboard would only POST 1/5 of the time. Rest of the time it would just sit there with fans spinning.
Noted that the BIOS version installed didn't officially support the stepping of processor I had (L2, not B2); so used ASUS tool to download and flash the BIOS.
Went for a reboot, now it doesn't POST at all.

Tried some Crucial ValueRam and some similar Corsair; 533/PC4200 DDR2. According to Crucial, their RAM will fit the board; and the Corsair isn't too dissimilar a spec.
PSU is a Seasonic S12 600W. I am aware that ASUS boards have some issues with Antec PSUs. I have a non-branded PSU I will check with tonight.
Might be cables I guess. The S12 could have a badly soldered joint; but it's unlikely. I will reseat all the cables again tonight and check.
I intend to pull everything out onto the kitchen table and try a minimal boot tonight with as little as possible on the board. If that fails then it;s an RMA job.

Thing is, it booted 20-30 times fine on Saturday and Sunday morning when I was installing Windows, etc. I get home from a BBQ and it fails to boot a few times, finally boots so I can update BIOS on it, then dead machine.
So I don't think components are to blame as it wouldn't boot at all then.

Back it goes...
Tested PSU, Memory, Graphics, HDD all in another system last night with no problems. Which leaves Mobo or CPU.
Returned both of them, courier arrives tomorrow.
