I plan to send the new ASUS P4B266 board back the Newegg. A search of the
web turned up a half dozen other users
of this board and other ASUS boards having the exact same problems. One guy
said his board failed to POST with a ATI Radon 9700 installed. He
installed the PRO version of the same card and bingo, POST came on/up.
I have an old ASUS P2B board. Great board. The P4B266 has made me more
interested in other MB manufacturers.

> In some cases a mobo that won't do POST can be fixed, but if you bought a
brand new ASUS mobo, why would you want to do that. They mean that in their
manual that if you can't do a POST screen in 30 seconds something is wrong.
I would NOT keep something I paid good money for that was brand new and
needed to be repaired. Return it for a new one.
