So if anyone payed attention to me in the BF3 Thread my Mother Board decided to crap out on me the day before I would get my key for the Beta...
Luckily since I had some funds saved up for the Asus Crosshair V I've gone ahead and purchased it and should be receiving it tomorrow.
Now I wasn't expecting to find out what went wrong with my MSI Board (Everything looked ok from the front) and was going to RMA it but when I took it out and looked at the back I'm not so sure if I can RMA it anymore.
The Back story is that I left my PC on and when I came home hours later I found it off and not turning on. There was this odd smell in my room but my cousin had also been painting in there so I thought it was still just the paint, probably O3 though.
So is an RMA still good? Worth me paying the shipping to try?
Cause: Was this the result of a short? But From what?
Should I get a new case? ( Was thinking about it anyways but now this pushes me toward getting a new one further more)
