Alright bought this used, /w an AMD processor and Zalman heatsink. And it has proven to be a hellish nightmare so far.


I recieved the motherboard in a PS2 box, securely wraped in static bag and protected from the brutal elements of USPS. Opened it up, and everything was fine. No visible problems. Took it to a neighbors and began to develop a headache...


Okay...No onboard video proves to be a pain in the ass. I tried to use an PCI graphics card first so i can get Video... that didn't work. Motherboard turned on, no Beeps or anything, just got NO video out of it.

Went and bought a PCI-E graphics card (just to test this board) to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. With every possible configuration it would not boot any Video to the screen. So im beginning to think something is messed up with the motherboard.

I have no clue what the problem could be. Im damn sure, its either a bad board, or im just doing something wrong.

So I come to the aid of you all. I need help :( Any help is appreciated, i would hate to send this Mobo back to the guy, or have to fight with him just to get any money back.

thanks in advance

Sunbeam Nuuo 550 watt PSU... SLI ready and everything. I believe that should be adequate.
