I've just installed my new Asus M4A78LT-M motherboard with a new Corsair 650W TX series and it won't boot up. The motherboard's LED light is on and when the power button is pressed all the fans, hard drives etc seem to be working. The power button on the front of the case doesn't seem to be lit when it's turned on; the power button doesn't let me switch it off, i have to turn off the PSU at the back. Don't know what's wrong with it, please help!

The first link is an Asus site where you can get the most current drivers. The second site is AMD's site where I would go to download your drivers. The fact that you don't have any display is probably because of the way it's hooked to monitor or when you hooked it up or, if you changed the way it was hooked up. Try diconnecting monitor/lcd from back of computer and plugging back in, then restart. If that doesn't work, if you ever had a picture, see if you can do a system restore to when you did have a picture. If you get a picture, uninstall all software through Programs and Features. If you have Catalyst Control, do an Express uninstall to remove all hardware. For new hardware, go to second link(AMD drivers). In the top right corner there is a window"Download Drivers",
1 Componenet Catagory-click on arrow on right, scroll down and select "Motherboard/chipset and select
2 Product line-click on arrow, scroll down and select"Radeon 3xxxx series and select
3 Product Model-click on arrow and select"Radeon 3000 Series"
4 "Operating System" click on arrow and select your system.
Click on "Show Results". This will list your drivers. Click on first one to download. It will ask you for either "Express" or "Custom" install click on "Express". Finish download and restart.

Installed new Asus M4A78LT-MLE, when windows loads, finds new device drivers keeps locking up, and wireless or PS/2 mouse & keyboard frozen from boot so cant manuever open anything?

It sounds like you have upgraded from another board to the M4A78LT-MLE and you have not reinstalled windows. If this is the case then are going to have terrible troubles with drivers and lock ups. Believe me, reinstall windows a fresh then install your drivers then windows updates and all will be well. Oh by the way use the asus site for the latest drivers and not those on the disk that came with the motherboard.

Hey there. Your motherboard is most likely faulty and is causing shorts inside the keyboards and mouses. You should get a replacement from your retailer for the motherboard.

Have fun :)

P5N-SLI

HI stukove2000,
What is the 5200 stand for?
Here is Asus approved CPU list link for the P5N-E SLI MB:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N-E%20SLI

The Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 5-5-5-15, should work just fine on the Asus MB.
Here is an expanded approved Qualified Venders List from Asus.
http://www.asus.com/999/download/products/1474/1474_10.pdf
You can also see a smaller QVL list in the manual on page 1-18 & 1-19.
The QVL insures total compatibility with the motherboard.

The NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT will run just fine on the Asus MB. Just make sure your power supply is no less than 500W. A 600W or 650W is preferred.

Here is a write up of the Asus mother board: http://www.techspot.com/review/43-asus-p5n-e-sli/
Asus FAQ's of the P5N-E SLI. Good place to check questions about the board.

Good luck stukove2000!

Asus P5N-E SLI Mobo will not boot or post.

Hi bart, please re-check you're memory. See page 1-17 in you're user manual. (Read everything)!
You're Asus board can not use 184-pin DDR DIMM's.
Also check the QVL list for supported memory page's 1-18 & 1-19.
I did not see Corsair on either page.
You're board can only use 240-pin DDR2 memory. Please read the "Notes" at the top of page 1-18.
If everything (Regarding memory) is within the Asus specifications than clear the cmos/bios & re-boot again. If you're system still does not boot than remove one DIMM & try again.
Asus warrants their boards for three years. Call Asus tech at
1-812-282-2787 EST, IL 8:00AM to 5:00PM. The call is on you but the service is free. It's worth every dime.

Good Luck & Kind Regards.
Would you be kind enough to let me know what Asus suggested? (If it comes to that).

Mike
