- this MB is a Maximus Formula and i have checked the cpu fan for noise by unpluging it also i had the 8 pin plug connected to the board not the 4 pin i have checked all the connections to the board they are all present also tried 2 different power supplies. sorry the "little LCD " is a small display that plugs into the MB and shows the posting routine .

- yes i have tested the MB out of the case still the same result also tried 2 types of memory and 3 different video cards and as i said earlier i have tried 2 CPU's an e8400 and an e6700 still no luck :(

Clarification Request

Please explain 'little lcd"
Try these in the meantime:

The buszzing sound near the CPU could be the cooling fan not anchored properly or worn out.

Video cards make sounds when not properly connected.

Check everything twice with the MoBo manual as you install.

Take your time and be patient as you work.

Let us know what you have checked, okay.

Hey Xatomx,

1. Let's check for shorting contact on that BoBo. By that I mean, make sure your MoBo soldering circuitry isn't touching casing metal in the back. The MoBo needs to sit 'insitu' on it's screws. Sometimes if it touches the case there is a short and warning sounds.
2. Are you using the same CPU on either MoBo? Try a different processor also.

3. Go over your Processor voltage and clocking settings.
4. Use different RAM and Viseo to see the difference.
5. Check your HDD, Power SW, Processor Fan, RESET carefully with the MoBo manual..
6. Try removing the MoBo from the case and keep it connected to the P/supply and Leds. Fire it outside the case and see what happens.

Sorry, but these are practical things any engineer would check for in troubleshooting: isolate the problem systematically.

Let us know what you find, ok.

- Hey, did you try a different power supply?

I am beginning to feel your MoBo or processor either have a problem. I would start thinking warranty exchange route. No reason it shouldn't post after all these options. I hope you got it from good guys down the road from you. It would be best.

Sometimes if you buy from a local shop, it's good to ask them to test those beats at the counter till BIOS posts and the babay cries, then you can take it home ready to grow.

Good luck

Don't mean to butt in here but I'll bet the 4 pin_ATX 12v connector is not connected to the board. That 4 pin_ATX 12v connector give's the CPU it's power. Without is the system will not boot. Some boards will give off that weird sound you are hearing.
