The other day my speaker in my case shorted and gave my board a little juice. I tested everything, and i mean everything to no avail. Got home from work the next day and the thing turned right on, downloaded updates, played some crysis, reset my overclocks, thing was back to solid. Then today, the power went out, back to square one, hitting the power button, only the led is on nothing else.
Now from the first day to the day it turned on I left it alone, was at work and came home hit the button and it worked.
Right now its sitting with nothing in the mobo but the proc and the heat sink.
Heres what I did between the two days: (None of which worked)
1. Tried another ps.
2. jumped the ps (green to black, everything powered on no post)
3. Re sat processor
4. Cleaned and re sat processor
5. Un plugged every component except for 1 vid card and 1 stick
6. Mixed and matched mem and video card
7. Took entire computer out of case
8. Resat all power connections and jumpers. (Yes all of the jumpers, were taken off blown out and resat)
So i figure the board is toast. I purchased it on Dec. 15th, and I don't figure Asus will replace it for me. I am thinking about going to microcenter in cambridge and getting the Gigabyte GA EP45 UDP3, I need the crossfire and ocing ability. Now should i buy this board and forget asus, or buy the board and bug them for a rma? I need this pc running asap as my dad is starting a business and i have a site and flyers i need to do.
