    I tried the swapping of the PSU & It still does the same thing . I'm at th troubleshooting stage of theinstallation, I 1st'lly dissasembled the CD-Roms & re-configured the Jumpers For SLAVE & MASTER, making the Pioneer DVR111eb Drive The Master, & the Sonique 52X Cd-Rom Drive The Slave, w/ Round Cable, 2nd'ly, Took jumpers & changed to Slave, the MAXTOR 30Gb IDE Drive, 3rd'ly The WD 400- 40Gb HDD & Made that Master, 4th'ly, took out the ATi 128Mb RAEDEON AGP Video card, And The D-Link Air Plus G Wireless adapter card,, checked the Round Cables for wear, they were new, so nothing there, checked the Floppy Disk drive, & Cables. then checked the Power supply cables, nothing was wrong. I hope that this new Mother Board & Chip are safe as When I took off the Fan & Heat Sink, every thing looked Normal, but t5o make sure, I took out the CPU (Carefully) checked It & put the Thermal Grease Back On the CPU Surface & put the Heat sink & Fan Back In, & I then took the CMOS Battery Out ( Old Skool trick Q!) waited a 1/2 hour (got me a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich & some Cranberry Juice) and put it back in & went to the CMOS Jumper & shorted the 1 & 2 pin, (just to make sure) and then put it back to Default (2&3 Pin shorted), Then Put In The Power Supply Cord & Pressed the On Button & again, the only thing that ahppen was the Optical Drives kept on Coming On & off,.. I really, really need some GURU help for this insane Install everything Is In Good Condition & the Power Supply was Changed From 350 Watts To A Nice CLever Power 450 Watts PSU. & Now It does the same with everything Installed & Also when It is Minimal, I hope somebody that KNOWS this Board submits a Solution. Quick Fast & In A Hurry.
    Thank again,...L.STERiO & that's My picture as I'm angry ar the ORACLE suggests. Thanks For the Help.But THAT WASN'T IT !

    HA ! Well as much as I tried everything Rafique, and other GURU's have taught and told me, I went to the Computer Show out here & Purchased a OEM P4- 3.0 Ghz. ,800FSB,1 gig L2Cache,CPU, as well as 2-Gigs SUPER TALENT DDR400 RAM 2X1024, and a 7in1 Card reader. installed all and put back all the other components I took out, and Voila ! It posted and accepted the NEW XP PRO Ultimate Black edition with all the Service Packs & Updates already included, as well as a Legitimate Key Code that passed the Win GAN. and Alls well in the computer world, so I deduced that the problem was in the CPU. it was not a good one, and just for memory sake, the DDR memory was swapped as well, now on to my next headache!
    I'll post that as soon as I put all the bells and whistles On this FOXCONN Machine. THANKS FOR THe Help FIXYA!

I suspect Mother or Ram may have been failed try changing Power supply. If not Try on other mother board.

    Reset all jumper to original condition. Connect only CPU,VGA, Ram( Only One) and ofcourse powersupply to mother board outside casing. Start by start switch. See Wheather system starts. If starts connect only HDD. and see wheather it starts. Now if working. Connect Optical drive and boot.





    Best Regards
