I have a ECS P6BAT-A+ Motherboard that will not boot. When I turn it on a little red light on the top of the board comes on, and the fans run but nothing else works. Please Help Me.

I have a ECS P6BAT-A+ Motherboard that will not boot. When I turn it on a little red light on the top of the board comes on, and the fans run but nothing else works. Please Help Me.
Without more information I cannot be of much help but here goes.
Make sure the CMOS jumper is not set to Clear
Try using another powersupply
Grounded Point on main-board (Are stand-offs Properly installed in case)
No loose screws rattling around.
Make sure the reset switch is not stuck or installed on the wrong jumpers.
Determineif the bare board will post Proc,mem, fans, Powersupply only
If it does connect components one by one until it fails again

I don't personally use ECS Mainboards because of the number of DOA's I recieved out of my first order. 4 out of 100.
Have you every used this board?
Do you recieve any post beeps?
What are the Specs of the system?
A little more info will help us determine your possibilities.
What type of processor are you using?
Slot 1 are bad about not being seated. No post usually means no Proc

Deep PSU is not something I would trust... I have one original Deer PSU which is almost gone (burned spots inside), but still working... Ususally they are having problems in standby module...Quote:

Also check out jumpers for changing CPU type (it is impossible to use Slot1 and Socket 370 CPUs at the same time). May be jumpers are not properly set...

Also, check that the CPU fan is plugged into the correct header, the bios can 'sense' whether there's a fan or not, and not power up.
