Apparently the A8V deluxe motherboard has failed on my system. I am
unable to boot... it just sits there and does nothing. I called ASUS
tech support and they gave me some instructions to follow. Take out
the memory and try to boot. Take out the processor and try to boot.
When I take out the processor I get the voice saying "No CPU installed"
When I put the processor back in and try to boot I get nothing.

Tech support said that this indicates a problem with the CPU. I
replaced the CPU - AMD 64 3200+ - with a new AMD boxed CPU. When I
attempted to boot I got a " System failed due to overclocking" After
looking through the manual, I shut the machine down and tried to reboot
and get into the BIOS setup. That failed. Since then the machine is
dead.

Anyone got any ideas?

Did you clear the bios after you installed the new cpu ?

I got a power supply tester, and checked out the power supply. That is
good. I cleared the BIOS.

Since I could not get anything to work I sent the motherboard back to
ASUS for repair.
