845PE - D-Bracket LED 2 Flashing Rapidly, No Other LED\'s On

Thanks For Reading This,
System Specs:
==========
MSI 845PE Max2-FIR (Brand New)
P4 2.4 GHz 533 (Brand New w/ accompanying fan)
Kingston 512 MB DDR PC2700 (Brand New)
Antec TruePower 430W Power Supply (Brand New)
3D Prophet II Ultra 64 MB AGP (Not New, Working)
I'm upgrading my computer. I bought a new MB, Processor, RAM, & Power Supply (Above). So Far, the above listed is all that I have put in this system.
I connected the D-Bracket (but left the USB Ports Disconnected), the S-Bracket, the Power Supply (all three MotherBoard connectors), all the front panel lights and switches, & the Video Card. I decided to make sure the system POSTed before I continued to add drives and cards.
I connected the power supply (with the PSU's On/Off switch in the Off position). As soon as I switch the PSU's On/Off switch on, the CPU, Chipset, & Case fans all start immediately (before I press the case's Power button) & the #2 LED on the D-Bracket flashes rapidly. All the other D-Bracket LED's are unlit. The system doesn't POST, Beep, Nothing.  :O
Holding the Power Button in for >5 seconds will not shut it off. Nothing, short of switching off the PSU, will turn it off. I disconnected all of the front panel lights and switches (including the Power Switch). Same result. The instant I switch the PSU on, the fans come on and the #2 LED flashes rapidly.
I have tried putting the RAM in different slots, swapping the RAM with known good RAM, disconnecting all "optional" connections, swapping for known good Video Card, resetting the BIOS with onboard jumper. None of which have helped at all.
I cannot find any mention of flashing D-Bracket LED's in the motherboard's manual or on the internet. I do not know what this signal means.
If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help me out. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could offer.
Thanks for your time,
 :O Dominick  ;(

Who would have guess that you have to have the Power Supply connector SECURELY connected to the motherboard for the thing to POST?!?!?!
I hope you catch my sarcastic tone. I apologize to you for having wasted your time, but I do appreciate you taking the time to read this.
Apparently, the Power Supply connector (the main 20-pin one) was not snapped all the way into the connector. I didn't have a spare Power supply so that is the one thing that I didn't swap. I just barely thought to check it and SUPRISE!, it was barely pushed in enough for some of the connectors to make a connection.
After snapping it securely into the connector, my board POST's and boots fine.
Thanks again for your time & sorry for being a bother,
Sincerely & Sheepishly,
  Dominick  :D

  • Apple TV green LED flashes rapidly

    According to the ATV setup guide if the front green LED is flashing rapidly, there is a problem.  I've detached all the cables from the ATV and found a micro-USB cable, which I connected to the ATV and my Mac.  In iTunes in the left pane where the playlists and other options are located, only my iPad shows up as a device.  Going to Prefs there is no tab for ATV.  Under the Devices tab only the iPad shows up.
    Other commets here have suggested restoring but it seems that since my Mac doesn't even "see" the ATV, there's nothing to restore to or from.
    The USB cable works on my camera but it took a little elbow grease to get it inserted completely.
    This is a Gen 2 ATV, two or so years old.  Connected to a late 2012 Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.1, with iTunes version 11.1.3 (64 bit).
    Is there anything further that I can look into before committing it to a repair shop or buying a new one?
    thanks,
    -Tod

  • Apple TV loses picture output and status light flashes rapidly after 5 minutes hooked up via HDMI - DVI cable

    Apple TV connected to a 2005 50" plasma monitor with DVI input via belekin HDMI to DVI cable.  Unit worked perfectly long enough to get it connected to the wireless network and begin the itunes registration process when there was a loss of signal message on the screen from the monitor and the Apple TV status light flashed rapidly and continuously. Reset and reboot yeilded flashing rapid status light and no output detected from the monitor.  I contacted support online and was told to return the unit to the apple store.  I returned home with another brand new apple tv and connected it in the same manner with exactly the same results.  Is there something with the HDMI - DVI interface that is causing this?  Are there known issues with the HDMI - DVI connection to Apple TV with older plasma monitors?

    The Apple TV doesn't actually support DVI. Some have managed to get it to work others have had varying issues with it.

  • Window title bars flashing rapidly in finder?

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had strange behaviour where the finder window borders keep flashing rapidly (usually when it's loading a window with a lot of file icons)?
    I've got a fairly new macbook running OSX 10.5.6:
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz

    Thank you Pullman!
    Turns out it was Perian causing the problem. Allowing it to update itself seems to have solved the problem.
    Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Screen flashes rapidly when iTunes opened

    Whenever I open iTunes, the screen flashed rapidly. I can maneuver around but I'm worred about plugging my iPod in while this is happening.
    I have run every anti-spyware and anti-virus known to man and I've only come across cookies. I've also unistalled/installed QuickTime/iTunes many times and I keep having the same issue
    Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

    okay.
    let's check to see if there are any peculiar compatibility settings engaged on your itunes. the following document has information on how to find the compatability settings controls:
    iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode
    ... but in this case, we're primarily concerned about making sure you don't have any of the other compatibility settings engaged (the display settings or input settings areas).
    if any of the latter boxes are checked, does unchecking them help with the display issue?

  • HT200197 i restored my apple tv and the light just flashes rapidly. any ideas?

    my apple tv showed a cord unplugged on the screen. Did the restore from ITunes and now the light just flashes rapidly and same logo shows up. Any ideas?

    Weaverj,
    I experienced the same thing on the SAME day (just last night) except I haven't restored it.  Meaning I DID not want to restore the unit and LOSE all the Movies I had on the unit.  Interesting that this occurred the same day you had your problem.  Instructions state that you should be able to restore without losing the media but there was NO option on iTunes to restore & save!!  Just an option to restore back to default losing all your purchased media.  I hope you would share any solutions with me if you discover one before I do, and I will do the same.  TangoPapa54

  • 3 status lights flash rapidly only after unplugging it stop

    Whenever I use ‘Airport setup assistant’ to make changes to my existing setting, and when the base station should be restarted it stops sending a signal and then all three status lights flash rapidly and also simultaneously. This is a replacement base station as the previous had its wan port fried. When it was first plugged in it gave this same problem. Only after plugging out the power chord and waiting for say 1 minute, then plugging it back in did the flashing stop and the base station started sending a signal again. This also occurred during the first set up using airport admin utility. It hasn’t happened since (when using admin utility)…but continues to happen when I use airport setup assistant. Is it sumthing I should be worried about?

    Sounds like your Airport Base Station is operating just fine - I wouldn't worry about it.

  • HT1551 The light on the front of the base is flashing rapidly but I cannot get the system to come on. Book says it is having problems but it does not say what type of problems or how to fix it. Any suggestions?

    The light on the front of my apple tv is flashing rapidly and it  won't send a signal to the TV.  The book says it is having trouble but does not say what it is or how to fix it.  My daughter was watching it last night and I think she turned the tv off without putting it to sleep.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry the news here is not good.  If the light just stays flashing then it is not able to succesfully startup the most basic part of the software.  The only option at this point is to find a USB cable that will let you plug ATV into a computer with iTunes and do a full restore of the system firmware.

  • K7N2G - No Boot, No D-Bracket LEDs

    Hi,
    Just bought:
    K7N2G-ILSR
    Athlon XP 2600+
    512 MB DDR333
    300W PSU
    Everything else in the PC is disconnected. When I power on I get repeated long beeps (memory problem?), however, the D-Bracket fails to illuminate at all.
    New memory is Nanya, I've tried it with other memory (friend's Geil 512MB DDR333) and got no beeps and no D-Bracket lights at all. ;(
    Anyone got any idea?

    Would this explain the absence of D-Bracket LEDs?
    Thanks anyway...I'll go and get more power.
