I got a bp6 with dual 433's and 256 MB ram.
With out any drives plugged in when i turn the PSU switch (on the back) on it powers up straight away and then turns off after 4 seconds. Then it wont turn on unless i turn of the PSU for a about 10 seconds and then turn it on again.
ie. the power button on the case doesn't do anything.
i have checked the power button so it seems its the psu cutting out because sometimes the screen will fire up for about 1 second. But youd think a 320 watt icute psu would be enough to boot dual celeries and no drives.

the PSU will run an athlon 900 and four drives so any other ideas??

Sounds like the mobo has a power problem to me......

BUT:

To make sure it isn't the power button, terminate the PWR_ON pins with a screwdriver.

Where did you get this from?
Have you checked that the cpus work in another machine?

got it off trademe for $100.
I emailed the guy that i bought it off and he said try one cpu at a time or test them individually which i will do......soon.
I just got actic silver and fop32's on the cpus and now i have to take them off again:mad: :confused:

maybe i'll bid on MirdOC's one if it doesn't work out:) :)
