I built my first pc about a week ago, only to find that the mobo (p5k) was defective, and whenever I turned it on I got stuck with no signal input on the monitor (tested the monitor/cable on a diff pc which worked fine).
I RMA'd that motherboard for a refund and purchased a p5e instead, since that problem was apprently common with the p5ks. The p5e i had worked fine for the last several days, but the temps were really high on the cpu so I decided to reseat the heatsink (zerotherm nirvana), and I tried to boot up again only to be greeted by the no signal input sign once again.
Tried booting without ram, and I'm not getting any beeps, so I guess this is the second mobo (of a different brand) that has failed within 1 week?
Are there any other tests I can do, or am I screwed? Everything is turning on (hd/dvd/heatsink fan, gpu fan, case fans).
