I also tried with my own pc ram which is Ocz pc6400

Ascendtech.us had your board for $69.99 recently, but I don't know if they still have it in stock. I wouldn't mess with the panel leads anymore. Changing them around won't accomplish anything. Leave them in the original positions. Only item left is to remove the board battery for one minute with the system off, then reinstall, and try restarting the system.

thank you for replying
i just did that
but still no luck
so i guess the mobo is dead
and i saw that website earlier already
the one that is 69.99 is a recertified mobo.
and they have this too

I would spend the extra $5 for the customkit. It's a bargain. Most of these refurbs come with a 90 day warranty. I would also replace your power supply to a decent brand, such as antec, corsair, seasonic, ocz, or enermax. Newegg has had the corsair and antec 400w ps for around $20 after rebate recently. Both will last a long time, and come with 3 year warranties.

thanks again.
I will tell my friend about it. The decisions are all upon my friend.
I guess it's solved
