before you read: i'm diagnosed as suicidal and have been prescribed anti-depressants, so pardon me if i get overly dramatic
I am very upset, having purchased my THIRD motherboard (GIGABYTE 970A-UD3P) and the I've gotten the same outcome as the last two I've bought (they were a couple of ASUS mobos, don't remember what they were). I've order the first 2 from Amazon, this latest one from Newegg.
There's nothing wrong with my case, I've ran my old motherboard in it and it runs fine.
My video card works, I've used it on my older motherboard (NVIDIA GT 640)
My CPU is an AMD FX.
Yes, all the fans work and are plugged in (including the CPU fan)
Yes, the CPU power is plugged in,
Yes, I've used thermal paste.
Yes, I've spaced out the motherboard from the case.
Yes, my PSU is the correct wattage
No, none of the pins are bent
Yes, the CPU and RAM are sitting on the motherboard correctly
This motherboard has no speaker, so i plugged in the one that came with my case. No beeps. No BIOS. Nothing even shows up on the screen. All the fans run, no beeps, no display, nothing.
Any ideas please? I'm loosing a lot of money...
