Dont know what else I could do at this point...

hi,

I have this build that I just cant get to work. First, the mobo was dead so I had to get a fresh RMA but after reinstalling the freshly RMA'ed mobo it still wont power up. Next thing I did to trouble shoot was the PSU test. PSU was fine. The CPU was a pullout from a working machine so that cant be the problem.... as for the motherboard pins,Ive already tried switching the poles(-/+).the PSU power connectors to the CPU and the Mobo are in place.

This is my 4th build so I do have some experience but I really need some help at this point.

will post specs if needed

What sort of "PSU test" were you running?
Have you tried jumping the motherboard's power pins with a screw driver?
Can you test the PSU and CPU in another system?
Have you tried a different CPU?

Also, please post your specs

do you get error beeps without the ram?
do you get error beeps without the vidcard?
did you attach a buzzer/speaker or is it onboard?
do you get error beeps without the ram nor vidcard?
if not, then you probably have a bad board. you can try re-seating the CPU.

Danny, I did the paper clip test and the PSU fan was working fine. Thats the next thing Im gonna do, reseat the CPU. and yea, there was no beeps or lights. no sign of anything powering up. I guess it must be the board, but Im afraid of that being the truth since I have a feeling the warranty is already over. Do MSI do anything about a DOA RMA?
