Are you using static protection when installing your motherboard? Do you use an anti static wrist strap when working with your build? Do you place your motherboard on the anti static bag when not installing it (Keep in mind that the anti static bag is conductive and placing it on carpet and then your motherboard on top of that is basically putting your motherboard on carpet)? Are the motherboards used? Did you remember to put your standoffs in the case before placing the motherboard in there and screwing it in? Do you touch your motherboard constantly?
