I was given a X58 Sabertooth motherboard. I was told it didn't work, but upon very careful inspection, I can find no kind of damage that would suggest anything is fried. So last night, I decided to finally try to get it working. I assembled the basics for a system on my (wood) dinner table and turned on the power to the PSU. Green LED lit up on MB. I tried to boot the system up (using a screwdriver to contact the power switch points). First try, I got a little flash from two red LEDS on the MB, heat sink fan kicked a little, then nothing. Green LED stayed lit. Second try yielded zero results. Turned the power supply off and back on. Green LED turned off and on with PSU. Tried to boot system, got the red LED flash and fan kick again, and that's all. Tried to boot the system again, nothing.
Components-
CPU- i7 960
MB- ASUS X58 Sabertooth
Cooling- Cooler Master Hyper 212
RAM- 8 Gb (2*4 GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR3 1600
GPU- EVGA GTX 780Ti SC
PSU- Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000
HD- Seagate 7200.12 500 GB
So what are the chances that the motherboard is actually done for with zero visible damage? Personally, I've never seen it before. But then again, I'm not the type of person that has worked on/with thousands of MBs in my lifetime. As far as I know, everything else does work, but I will be testing them today in assembling the AMD PII 940 system for testing I have laying around.
