Will a computer start without a processor installed?

I have been trying to get my computer to boot with just the power supply connected to the motherboard, cpu fan, and graphic card. All that I am getting is a half-second of the fans spinning on the cpu-fan, powersupply and graphic card and then it stops. The green LED light is on. I was told that even if the processor was dead, the fans would all spin.



What would cause the fans to stop spinning?



I can rule out this being a power supply problem as I have tried 3 different PS units on this and they all do the same thing.



I am using an ASUS A7N8x-e Deluxe motherboard:

Nope. It will not turn on without a processor. its like asking you to remove your brain and still function as a human being.
think of it like this,

the processor is the brain,

the harddrives are your memory,

the motherboard is all your guts,



with out the brain (processor) the rest has no idea what to do, so yes it might run but it wont make any sense of what its doing, that is probaly why your fans turn off, because they're not getting the information they are supposed toWill a computer start without a processor installed?
the most common thing it the voltage regulator on the board went out, i would even bet you would see some bulging capacitors on the board if you looked real good
You need your processor in order for the computer to funuction right.Will a computer start without a processor installed?
