Hello all,
I sent my motherboard back on Tuesday due to it not working. (Ebuyer)
My step-dad built the computer (He's done it before) and he couldn't get the thing to run. (nothing appeared on the screen).
So he did a few tests and found out that the motherboard didnt POST and therefore - told me to send it back to Ebuyer. Sure enough - Ebuyer could'nt find a fault and are sending it back to me.
What else could be the problem. Below are my specs and I'm pretty sure my BIOS needs updating. BUT - How am I meant to update my BIOS when nothing shows on the screen in the first place. (Yes - I've tried clearing CMOS and i've tried a diffrent GPU). (I know, i'll try another CPU)
Kingston 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Hyperx Memory Non-ECC Cl5(5-5-5-15) Unbuffered 119223 Invoiced Track £25.35 £25.35
1 x MSI P43 Neo-F iP43 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard 148024 Invoiced Track £45.02 £45.02
1 x PowerColor HD 4850 Play Edition 512MB GDDR3 DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card 150390 Invoiced Track £99.99 £99.99
1 x Seagate ST3500320AS 500GB Hard Drive SATA II 7200rpm *32MB Cache* - OEM 130826 Invoiced Track £37.98 £37.98
1 x OCZ Stealth Xtream 500W PSU - 1x PCI-E 6/8pin, 2x SATA 12cm Fan 135159 Invoiced Track £36.77 £36.77
1 x Intel E7300 2.6GHz - £75 (Off Ebay, Brand new).
I've also tried with just one stick of RAM. No luck
Thanks guys,
Wasley
