Foxconn G31MXP won't boot up

I have a Foxcoon FC-G31MXP motherboard that I switched cases for recently since my old case was too small for a PCI card that I need to install. However, the computer just won't boot anymore. No power whatsoever infact - no LEDs, no fan spinning. I am using the following components: CoolerMaster TC101 Case w/ TM500-PSSR-F1 500W PSU Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA HDD IDE CD/DVD Drive Crucial CT12864AA667.M8FE 1 GB 240 PIN DIMM (just 1 stick) I've tried clearing CMOS and replacing the CMOS battery, but no success there. Any solution would be highly appreciated.

    This board is really sold by Intel.com
    they contracted foxconn to make it.!
    per wiki

    event! "Foxconn occurred in 2001 when Intel selected the company to manufacture its Intel-branded motherboards instead of Asus."


    if you see the BIOS pages and the word
    Intel there, BINGO , it is INTEL sold.

    most foxconn boards are used in Dell or PC.
    under contract and jack pinouts are a secret.
    and by old gateway PC
    luck you it is intel board and real; manual exits.

Hello, i just had issue with same Foxconn board , well the solution to bios boot loop is quite often LAN card so disable it in bios if it boots than your lan is fried and prevents the board from booting , almost always if you hit esc for boot menu and it does not pop up just system goes to boot loop than the above solution will work.

    they do not sell mobo in kits, at all(USA)
    so that mobo is out of a top brand OEM PC
    that some how got lost by you.
    you bought the mobo with no manual
    really.?
    it tells you what pins to use for power on jack,, if not wired right , it will never turn on.
    2008 made.
    page 16 real covers power on. jack 17

    dead PC or mobo
    have 20+ causes not just 1.
    there are 9+ steps to find it.
    tests.
    guessing can be hard, on any PC.
    https://pcdied.com/BSOD-s/dead-PC-why.ht...

    we test the PC stripped down first.
    yes cards short
    yes modules short
    yes DDR memory can short.
    and lots more, even 20 things inside can short
    or less on real desktops.
    and bad PSU.
    in fact a PSU will shut off or not turn on for any short in the PC to prevent the magic of FIRE and smoke. (by law too,NECA regs.)

SOURCE: Sound cable connection

Look more closely at your motherboard, for a 4-pin "PC Speaker" label.

The "HD Audio" is _OUTPUT_ (left front, sub-woofer, right front, left back, right back) to Surround Sound speakers.

SOURCE: Foxconn G31MXP & G31MV motherboards

A friend of mine used to build computers for his boss. I stopped by to see him one day, and he had problem getting one booted up- he'd swapped out everything, as it unfurled, except the power supply. I asked him if he had another one, and when he swapped it out the computer booted and ran perfect. Other than checking all your connections, I guess the video board could be suspect. Here's a blog about this exact problem:

In a similar problem, the board turned out to be faulty:

You need the manual which you can get here for your board, and download it at the bottom of the page, once you have the manual, then you should see the connections. The other way to tell is to look closely on the board, it might say which goes where right by the connection on the board, and then the wires should say on them what they are, and you can put them where the board says, if you have that on your board.

CMOS checksum error

Try running the Check Disk Utility.

To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc ora operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot fromit. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with whiteletters) and type the following command: chkdsk /r
Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice thepercentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run tocompletion. Then reboot machine.

If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,music, pictures, videos or programs.

In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair whenthe options appear.

In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recoveryconsole and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.
