Greetings , yesterday I recieved the motherboard mentioned in the title,bundled with i5 3330 and some big Thermaltake cooler. PC started right up and it came to the screen where you chose boot menu,start the bios,flash and so on and didn't want to go any further,it did not respond to any button and also it did not want to start the bios. Debug led stays on code 99-which is something related to IO. I tried to turn it on without anything connected,with just one stick of ram and with no hard disk,stopped at 99 anyway. Later on I noticed there was something missing, a capacitor near ram has broken off,with two solder wires stil comming from the mobo. Last owner says everything worked fine without the capacitor and I couldn't find it's purpose on the net. Here is the picture.

Forget to mention that the motherboard is responsive,for instance if I remove GPU,it will list different error,same with no RAM. I also tried reset bios button,and then it starts to cycle between all the codes and it ends on 99 again.Also mobo even goes trough "light up" procedure for the keyboard.For every PC I had when it will post,all 3 lights(caps,scroll,num) on the keyboard will flash and then num lock will stay on until Windows boot.This one does the same but it doesn't go past "press del to enter bios,f8 for boot menu..."as I mentoned before
