Why doesn't my Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard power-up?

This can lead to two things.\n\n1.  Power supply is gone\n2.  BIOS is gone

It might be the battery on the mother board might need to be replaced. Do that first.

You need to check with ASUS and see if they have a BIOS recovery utility. It should include instructions on how to use it also.

You probably need to install your motherboard AGP drivers.  SmartGart will always report 0x AGP if your motherboard AGP drivers are not installed.\n\nYou can get them from your motherboard manufacturer's website.

It could be many things.... start by disconnecting  your Hard Drive... if it still restarts and does not let you stay in the bios try a new Power Supply... if persist its most likely your motherboard... make sure to disconnect  everything else...

The only way to know for sure is to test it on another motherboard. Short of a lightening strike or big power surge or short in the motherboard that would have caused smoke to come out... I just don't think all of it could fail. Was the processor actually tested, or was it just a guess?

It is BIOS issue\nThere may be some message appears, read it well and see what is the problem\ntry to get into your BIOS and check there what is the problem

If you have tested multiple hard drives on this system and believe that the onboard sata controller is faulty, then I would recommend contacting the company you purchased the motherboard from for support/service.  (not Intel)\n\nHave you verified that this motherboard is running the latest version of BIOS?\n\nHave you verified that the SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS?\n\nGive the company that you bought the motherboard from a call, they'll be able to help you if your still under warranty.\n\nGood luck

You can start by noting what type of slot/socket it has for the CPU, and/or any model numbers / designations to the mainboard, as well as the manufacturer. THEN perhaps we can look up something appropriate.

What you are in need of is called a Bios Debug Card.  You can get a cheap one from Soyo at http://www.geeks.com  Is your CPU fan plugged in right?  Most newer boards will not start up if that is not working.  If it is working when you power up, but are not getting any video the video card may be bad.  If nothing is working but you are getting beeps on Boot, then the RAM may be bad.  A good rule of thumb is to try using only the main components (video RAM Hard drive) and get the system running first.  Then start adding other components (sound network modem etc) after it is running.  This helps stop any conflicts from happening when you first try to get a system running.  Hope this helps

If it doesn't power up then:\n\n1.  power cord / wall outlet\n2.  Power supply\n3.  Motherboard\n\nThe first one is free.  The second one might be free, power supplies tend to go to sleep for a few min when abused.  However, a new power supply is like $40 and easy to install.\n\nThe motherboard is usually terminal these days.

Check the power supply cable (the one with the 4 pins).  It sounds like it just isn't getting any power.  Even if there's something wrong with the jumper settings or the I/O interface, it should at least spin up.

It's possible that your powersupply isn't sufficient enough, What is your system setup, Intel or AMD, how new or how old is it, Your system may not have enough power to support what your doing. Let me know this info and I can better assist you

if this is happening when you boot the computer it is called a POST or Power On Self Test.  The manual for your specific motherboard should explain how to decipher these messages.

Try the manual\n\nhttp://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945gnt/nt_manual.htm\n\nAll settings for devices should be referenced in there.\n\nHope this helps.
