What's the scenario with a replacement board other than the original EPoX 8RDA+ mobo? I have an ABIT AN7 that I intend to install.

WIll Epox replace the board for free? From EPoX Support: "It will take 1-2 bussiness week to repair of your board, and we do not charge any labor fee to repair this board. If you have any other question please contact us at 714-680-0898." The same board? Yes, they repair the board and send it...

My EPoX 8RDA+ motherboard seems to be dead. The other night I was using my computer. I left it on as I usually do and found both screens were black in the morning as they usually are. Moving the mouse or tapping a key did not wake up the monitors. I've cleaned the ATI 9800 card and the slot to...
