I just recently got the Asrock 939 sata dual motherboard with an AMD x2 3800+ processor. I have everything connected and when I start it up, the fans continue to spin and there is no hard disk activity and no beeping. I don't think the motherboard is bad as it had a continuous beep during one of the boots, but it doesn't beep anymore. Could it be the processor or am I doing something wrong? The rest of my specs are an Nvidia 6800 NU, 1gb of geil ram, 80gb WD drive, and an antec 430w power supply. Thanks for your help! Any tests I could run without swapping parts out to see if one or the other is bad?
 
yes, I did...I plugged in both power ports into the motherboard. I still get fans spinning, no hard drive activity, and no display.
 
ok, this time, I accidentally left my power cord out of my video card and the system board beeped...does this mean the motherboard is ok? Basically what I need to know, is whether my processor is bad or my motherboard. I am pretty sure everything is set up right, including the grounds of the motherboard.
 
Sorry, when I saw that you said it beeped during one of the posts, I read that it beeps. Try to swap out video cards or something, but my money is on the mobo.
 
Never mind, it all works now...just took everything apart, organized the wires, and put it back togeter and it boots...thanks for all your help!
