Hi, I spent Christmas trying to get my girlfriends PC together and I think her mobo is bad. The second I plug it in it instantly tries to boot up then after about 5 seconds it shuts off then in about 3 more seconds it turns back on and repeats. I tore it all back down and then tore MY working rig apart and breadboarded her mobo and processor. I was expecting to hear the beeps signaling there was no RAM and got nothing. Same pattern. None of the pins are bent and I reset the CMOS. No avail. I also followed the sticky on here and nothing helped. Also tried 2 CPUs just to make sure. She's planning ongoing to bestbuy in the morning to buy a new mobo. Just wanted to ask you guys to make sure. Should I just toss it?
