Hi, I recently started my first build using the above-mentioned mobo, obtained in a package deal from Newegg. It came with a Cooler Master HAF 912 case, a Cooler Master 650W PSU, an AMD 3.8GHz cpu, a 1 TB West-something HDD and 8GB RAM. I finished the build off with an ASUS disc drive and an ASUS 7870 HD video card.

I recently hooked everything up, and I'm getting some weird results. The power switch won't activate, but the video card LEDs and the MOBO are showing green. I changed to the Reset Switch and got .5 seconds worth of power flow, the fans spinning, and it stopped. A reset/unplug of the psu gave repeat results, but no repeats during the same plug-ins.

I was wondering if the MOBO was damaged, or if I might have another problem? Any tips or advice would be highly appreciated.

It's the AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.8Ghz Turbo). I've reseated it once (pretty sure it was seated properly the first time) and made sure everything was lined up again. I can't dismount anything just now, but that's definitely the next step. I'll report back with results soon!
