full spec and more detail of his problem :

Asus A8n-SLi (standard)
XFX 6800 GT
AMD 64 3700+ (SD)
2 x 1GB Geil Value RAM

It is running 1014 BIOS. It boots fine once CMOS has been reset but on restart/shutdon & turn on it does nothin. Fans spin lights on but no POST. Have tried removing everything but CPU, GPU and one stick of RAM (also tried some old RAM) when it does post the memtest is all clear and shows the full 2GB.

thx for any help :)

Bar the GFX card that the same setup as me, that geil likes a fair bit of voltage, try setting to 2.8 in the bios and try again, also worth updating the bios to 1015 as i have used it without problems, search this site or the one that sounds like overclockers as there are some very good guides to setting this mobo up.
