About 3 weeks ago i bought an Enermax liberty from newegg. I installed the PSU, but when I turned it on no video showed up on my monitor. My motherboard, evga sli, gave me a memory error. The old psu had the same results as the Liberty. I took it to a local computer store and they told me that it was the motherboard. I receved my replacement motherboard from eVGA and the same thing happened again with both PSUs. I am thinking it is my RAM because i get the memory error from my motherboard. Here is the weird part. When i took it to the store they put in there own graphics card and RAM in the system and it still got the error! and since i am getting the same thing with my new MoBo i thought it could be the ram so i rma'd it with newegg and shipped it today. does anyone have any other opinions of what this problem could be?

Thanks

It could just be bad luck. I have had some bad experiences lately with multiple parts being bad in a row from newegg. Other than that, when you get a new mobo, use the old PSU first to see if it runs. Then the new one. Maybe the PSU is frying your boards?
 
bump. the only problem is that i used the new one first.... but there are no visible marks on the board and it seems to run fine... but i dont get why it doesnt at least come up on my monitor....
 
Are you sure Newegg didn't send you the same board back? I've had that happen more than once....

Tried clearing the CMOS on the motherboard with the reset jumper?

Are you plugging in the PSU properly (all 24 pins, or 20 + another 12v aux connection)?
