    P5WD2 Premium won't POST

    Hey, I just bought a P5WD2 Premium and when I plug everything in the monitor won't turn on when I power up the system. All fans spin, no beeps, just the monitor never comes out of the "auto power off" mode to display the POST. I've switched around the RAM in different slots, but still no go. The only other thing that I've noticed really is that when I press the power button to turn it back off it doesn't turn off (like when you're in Windows and press the power button, it doesn't turn off) so I have to hold down the power button for 6 seconds until it turns off.

    P5WD2 Prem.
    1GB OCZ EB Plats rev2 PC2-4200
    PCI graphics cards (neither an old Rage nor an S3 Savage4 card work)
    OCZ Powerstream 600w.

    The onboard power plugs that I've found are the 24pin, 8pin, and 4pin (molex)...are there any others that I'm missing?

    Thanks

    Have you tried CMOS reset?


    If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.

    You should be getting a single beep when it completes the POST memory check. Try booting with just a single stick of memory if clearing CMOS doesn't fix it.

    The delayed shutown is by design. You should be able to just depress the power button for approximately one second and it will still shutdown in about five seconds.

    Nope, no beeps. I tried a single stick too in the A1 slot (the left yellow slot) but still nothing.

    I tried clearing the CMOS too...nothing.

    Ok, one of the OCZ sticks is bad (the one I tested singularly so therefore didn't POST either). Thanks for the help!
