I'm having trouble getting a brand new, bare bones Intel D845GVAD2 board to boot. Have tried 2 different power supplies (atx12v compliant) & 2 cpu's - (2 x Celeron 2.2 ghz, 400mhz).
Currently, with second new 500w supply, power supply fan won't even turn on when connected to board. It does when connected to old eMachine IM845GL board.
It occurred to me to check the battery on the new intel board, as reported shelf life is 3 years, and the board may be older than that. I read 3.00v on a new batter in the old board, and 2.85v on the battery that came with the new intel board. Could that be the reason the board is not booting?

Jump to Postcould be ram,remove ram and see if it turns on
Jump to Postyou don't need any ram in to get it to boot to first boot screen, it runs off the 64k memory on the motherboard
are you, or have you tied to run it outside the tower on a table top, you can connect it and jump the power switch pin …
