I recently acquired an IC7-G (says MAX II Advance on the box) and cannot get it to boot with my 2.8E Prescott. The processor (2.8E) worked fine in my VT7, and the IC7-G will boot with my old 2.0 Northwood. So the components aren't bad.

It will power on with the 2.8E, but no POST passed beeps from the pc speaker and no video.

When i booted with my 2.0 i checked the BIOS version and it's version 28. 12/28/04. The latest.

I unplugged the power cable from the power supply, and cleared the CMOS with the jumper. Still a no go.

Now it says this motherboard supports the Prescott CPU's, so what's the deal? Anyone have any ideas?

Abit IC7-G MAX II Advance Revision 1.1
2x256 Simpletech Nitro Series Memory
Intel 2.8E Prescott with HTT
ATI Radeon x800 XT Platinum
Western Digital 80GB SATA
MGX Vigor 500 Watt PS

That's the system specs. Any help would be appreciated. If any more info is needed please let me know!

When you boot you say no post beep and video, does it give an actual post code on the 2 digit display. If you managed to turn it on it should at least display the opening sequence (usually i see them hang on 80 or 82.)

In general if you hooked up the speaker correctly, No Beeps means the Power Supply, CPU , or the Board is Bad. It also could mean the ram is is not snug in the slot or a device has not been connected properly.
