Soyo Dragon+ ... good or bad board????

carpman:

If you're getting one long beep...(i think) it means your memory is not available...either not seated or missing altogether or maybe bad. Do a search on 'beep codes'...different beeps and the number mean different things. It may not be your motherboard is bad.

Good luck!

Jeez...a day after I explain exactly what the problem is, someone comes along with the wrong reason.

I hope to never use a parallel port on my computer again. Has anyone else had this problem, or done this and it not fry their M/B?

Hi all

As I said I tried all the obvious things such as reseating the memory, videocard CPU ect.
It just wouldnt work.
It wouldnt bring any video up so i couldnt get in the bios.
I have built about 5 machines before but never had this type of problem.
So much for paying extra for a good board.
I sent the package back yesterday and i will see what the service is like from Newegg.

Anyone here know what the maximum power I'm allowed to draw from these fan headers? I want to hook up a sanyo denki fan to cpu header one but it draws like .56A.
