Excitement builds! Will it be the CPU, or will poor Wasley be struck with a completely different scenario of Bad Luck and Incompatibility?
Don't miss the next episode!

By the way, Wasley, I would be willing to take you through each step if you want to take up flashing. In that case it might be easy to get a Skype or MSN Messenger session going.

I've given the Job to my step-dad. He's come to the conclusion that the motherboard has died. (DOA).

He tested the motherboard and it will not post. We've also tried it with other components.

He tested it whilst I was out with a mate so i'm not sure if he tried it with a diffrent CPU - However, he did try it with another GFX card - Still nothing.

Its my first build and I've been VERY unlucky.

I'm contacting Ebuyer tommorow to get a replacement which could take up to two weeks due to testing. ()

Note to self: Buy a ready built machine next time.

I'd scrap that note to self, this is just a piece of bad luck. I've done numerous self builds and if the hardware is dead, it's dead. It would have been dead in a prebuilt config as well.

Just make sure you always keep your warranty tickets and no self build can go wrong really.

About the testing, you'll want to make SURE it's been tested with another CPU. The chance is so likely that it's actually a BIOS/CPU conflict that you don't want to skip that step whilst testing.

Well - I would of said that but I'm not really the expert. If he was good at what he was doing - You would of thought he would of tried that. Perhaps not, Perhaps i'm wrong.

But the point is - it wasnt posting anything. I would mention it but we don't usally see eye to eye.
