I have a problem with my computer that has a A8N in it. I have hooked up all the components. The problem I have is when I try to power up, there is a split second of power, and everything works (the fans spins and lights come on), and then the whole system turns off.
Sounds like the power supply is overloaded. Is this a new configuration? Start removing components until it powers up. If it still doesn't power up, check to ensure you don't have a short in any of the connectors that you installed components into. Sometimes when a video card, memory DIMM, or whatever, gets installed, there is a chance that a connector pin will get crushed and short out to nearby pins. If none of those work, you might want to try a larger wattage power supply. Good luck.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Turns out I was a dummy and was screwing the board too tight in the case, and it was shorting itself out. Fixed it, and I recomment this mobo to anyone that is thinking about building a computer.
