OK, I am now flumoxed! This new system worked fine for 4 days until I
moved to my back bedroom! Plugged it in and it did not work. If fact, it
did NOT work exactly like before I moved the RAM dimms I have
or there is a bad socket???

To reset a soc 775 CPU fan, you REALLY need the factory instructions.
Both for proper removal and to pre-set the pins to properly try again.
The friend I mentioned broke his fan mounting and I had to get a replacement
fan (a heat pipe type third party) shipped in.
He was lucky to have an MB where
Rick,
Believe you could be close. But, Intel has very good install and
removal/reset instructions in the booklet that comes with the retail
E8400's. And, Asus duplicates thes instructions in the m/b UM. Still,
these default hs/fans from Intel are quite odd to install. I will double
check
The E8400 is a socket 775.
Check the CPU heatsink.
That is a poor design, and I patched up friends box when the fan fell off,
(or got a little loose).

Merry Christmas! Rick,
Yes, I do plan to check the hs/fan combo first. I did have trouble getting
it to click on to the m/b. I do suspect this even though the fan spins at
power on (as does the chassis fan). I will start a debug session in a day
or so.
The final set of new parts are

No it did not even work back here on my desk/workbench. I do plan to try
and run it naked (sans case), and with only 1 dimm. A bit confused about
the DMM work to do; the AC outlet power is nominal at 120VAC. The old PC
works fine in the guest BR on the same ups...very odd.
If it don't work moved back, then the DMM suggestion is moot obviously. Good luck
sorting it out, new builds can be a PITA for sure!

Did it work if you move it back to where you had it? I'd try that before I blame the
build! If so, time to get a DMM out check the power+ground on the outlets.

I have a brand new PC built that will NOT light UP the display and provides
NO POST codes either. I am stumped.
I am building a new PC to replace my old gaming platform. The old gaming
platform uses an Adaptec 29160-64 and a pair of 18.4GB
Have you selected the right input on the Dell display? Perhaps you
inadvertently switched from DVI to VGA or something.

Winterlight,
Very good thought. The display runs thru my switchview KVA. I thought of
getting my spare panel just to eliminate the kvm switch.
As luck would have it! I left my old PCI(32) FX5500 in the build. Then I
looked at DIMM slots the RAM was plugged into...LSSI
1st thing I would do is clear the cmos, sometimes something there keeps them
back. Make sure clear cmos jumper is in the normal position, they sometimes
ship in the clear position.

fp,
I got really lucky on this one. It seems I chose the wrong DIMM
slots...
Yes, I'll read up on this; but, when I move the dimms from the orange
slots to the black slots, the damn thing fired up like nobodies
business! I am still sitting here is a mild state of shock! (after 4
