August 14, 200520 yr Author I was thinking GTA:SA would be a good way to relieve stress in the delivery room. I could use a good stress relief right now.

August 14, 200520 yr Here is what I would do first before RMAing anything. You get no post no beeps, right? Nothing powering up? I could be shorting somewhere. Take the board and power supply out of the case and set board on mobo box. Then only put in whats necessary for post.. video card if no onboard, one stick of memory. Leave out everything else. Connect board to power supply and jump the power switch on the board with screwdriver or something. You will have your answer shortly afterwards. If still no post no beeps, its either board or cpu. WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.
August 15, 200520 yr Author The PC powers on just fine. My drives aren't getting power. I pulled out anything unnecessary and just put power to one optical drive and one hard drive, but nothing. I pulled the HDD out and it worked just fine in another PC. I've tried 3 power supplies.

August 15, 200520 yr I would have suggested a virgin, but that's probably against the TOS “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

August 16, 200520 yr Author Foxconn just emailed me back and they insist there is no way the motherboard could be at fault. Yet the drives work fine in other computers and I've tried 3 different power supplies, all brand new.
August 16, 200520 yr The manufacturer claims it can't be their board. Strange, isn't it? Rat swine-hearted wretches!

August 16, 200520 yr Yet the drives work fine in other computers and I've tried 3 different power supplies, all brand new. And now for the mandatory tech support question... Have you plugged anything else at all into your motherboard (that might be an unintentional powerdrain/shortcircuit) ? Like ram, cpu, anything ? If you can eliminate "everything" besides the motherboard and the psu/drives, you have a pretty good case. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

August 16, 200520 yr Author I've reseated them, but I don't have spare ram or processors to test out. However BIOS recognizes the CPU and RAM just fine.

August 16, 200520 yr Why havent you got a new one on the warranty already? I mean there is no doubt that it is the Motherboard that is faulty.
