I found this MSI support site including a list of "Post Codes" (the beeps after the computer powers up but before the video screen starts). Since you are not hearing any beeps, your motherboard is "Not Posting". Start there -->

I have tried resetting the coms via jumper but still no post on screen, my thoughts are faulty mo/bo
I just hate passing on bad news ... sorry ...
This is an old motherboard. If you are planning to install 7 you should know that there are no NForce2 or 3 chipset drivers compatible with Vista or 7. Also, I came across a link that suggests the motherboard will not support "High Density" memory so your Corsair XMS may be the cause of not posting. You can verify that by borrowing an old stick of memory just to see if it will boot.
Does My nForse2 based K7N2 Delta-L Support this memory?? - nV News Forums
Check out the link?
Try one stick at a time, 1 slot at a time. A few months ago, a user finally got his to boot with 1 stick in the last slot. He sent the MB back for a replacement.
double check that your cpu 12v power on the mobo is plugged in. Also try a different power supply if you have one
ISEEUU,
You haven't read my post correctly (however, the N/F 2 board in my spec is running win 7 just fine!) the problem I am having is with a new Asus M4A785TD-V EVO mother board, AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8GHz processor and OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10666 Platinum Ram which I have bought to up grade, but it won't post anything on the screen.
Yup ... you are right ... my bad ... stayed up past my bedtime last night! Sorry.
Still ... motherboard not posting is either defective, OR something plugged into it is the cause. In my experience memory has most often been the cause. I did have one where the motherboard did not like the brand of Ethernet card. You have apparently tried moving the memory around, did you try reseating the processor? It would seem the only other component is the power supply? Is any part of the motherboard touching the case? Did you try unplugging the hard drive? You do not need it to post so you can see if will post without the hard drive?
The MSI basic troubleshooting guide, although a different brand, is still an excellent guide for eliminating the possible causes of a motherboard not posting.
Cheers!
Robert
ISEEUU, I have checked all plugs (about 5 times now!) the ram is one that Ausus has pasted as suitable for the board so I assume thats ok, I haven't tried reseating the cpu but I will try that tomorrow and I will also double check that the the underside of the mobo isn't touching the case in anyway. Thanks for your time.
