Hello everyone !
I'm the owner,of a motherboard Asus Sabertooth X58, who had been working flawlessly,until last week when she stop working.The entire system,was custom made by me and it has this configuration : Cpu I7 950 , Asus Sabertooth X58 , memory Corsair Xsm3 1333 Mhz , power supply Ocz Fatality 750 Watts , videocard R9 280 dual X by Shappire, sound, creative xtreme gamer 24bit and middle tower case from Deep Cool.In all this time,i've been testing with diffrent fully working parts,from a friend of mine, starting with: Another I7 Cpu , power supply , memory, even resetting the bios and replacing the Cmos baterry. Nothing worked out in the end.Fans are not spinning when trying powering up the system. An engineering IT who's working at computer store in my area told i need a "copy bios" from another Asus Sabertooth fully working one in order to make it work.I was wondering is there anybody around who's willing to provide me with this "copy bios"..? Thanks in advance !
 
Hi,
You can solve easier the BIOS issue, but
"Nothing worked out in the end.Fans are not spinning when trying powering up the system" makes me thinking that the issue is not related to BIOS.
Try leaving only the 24 pin power cable and a case fan connected to the motherboard. Start the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the motherboard corresponding to the case power button.
See if the case fan does spin.

Thanks for you fast response back. I'll try that and let you know what it happens.It could be some issues related to the "northbridge", according to other electronists that i've talked about.Regards !

Greetings @alexoiu ! I followed your advice, by removing the motherboard,from the case and put it on the cardboard box. With the Cpu and cooler cpu,on it and memory installed using only one stick of memory 4 gb. I have reset,the bios once again,from jumper near battery by switching from 1-2 to 2-3,for 5 seconds.Afterwards i tryed,powering up the board,with a screwdriver by touching the 2 pins on the panel called "powerswich" Nothing happend....
My guess is,she's dead for good and unrecoverable.Thanks for your kind response back ! Have a nice day !
