everything seems to be hooked up and in the right spot for the mobo (24 pin
power plug) and one to the top left corner of mobo, the pci-e power to
video was hooked up.
had it set up on the table(not in case) and had a vocal post with out ram
one long two short beeps...hard drive and dvdrw were not hooked up at this
time either. that code isn't in the mobo manual. put in ram and no post,
and blank monitor. everything has power though near as I can tell. all
fans spinning and led in corner of mobo is lit
Will try a piece by piece again once kids are asleep and out of the way
(lot less stress :) )
Been reading here and there that others are having bios problems with these
boards and reding the 9xx dual core cpu's and a possible fix is to flash
bios BUT doesn't do me a lot of good as I have no spare parts that fit the
new system other than a pci sound card other parts are for a P166, way to
ancient to even look at.
any input apprecciated.........

The CPUSupport page lists 0415 as the minimum required BIOS.
That BIOS is from Nov 2005, so it might already be on the board.

I don't know exactly how a BIOS would be constructed from
a flow chart point of view, but it strikes me that the
processor recognition phase would be before RAM or
video card are accessed. You would want your processor
to be commissioned and ready to go, before looking for
the RAM. It is possible to write code that only uses
registers in the processor to run, so while being
restrictive, it is not impossible to get things done
without RAM.
So that means there could be a couple theories. I like
your theory of BIOS version, and you could contact
badflash.com and get them to send you a new BIOS chip.
That would be $25. Asus has also been known to offer
a flashing service, and the difference is, Asus may not
use the most efficient shipping method. But the price
might be less. Phone Asus tech support to see if they
have a service like that in your part of the world.
(See if there is a paper label on the BIOS chip, as it
may indicate the flashed version from the factory.)
It could be bad RAM, but I guess you've tried one stick
at a time to eliminate that possibility.
It could be the motherboard I suppose.
