Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I have a new system I received maybe a week ago. I fire it up, wouldn't stay on, just repetitive power on/off. I get no screen, also. I took it out of the case, put it on piece of cardboard, board, psu, ram, only, take my spare PSU, hooked that up, same issue. I took one of the RAM sticks out, same, tried the other one, same. Tried with no RAM, wouldn't turn on after that... No matter what I did. I think it took it's last breath... I'll work on getting that refunded and buy a new board... If you have any suggestions, please say so. Needs to be 1551 board. This board was $115: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128907 Edit: @Unobscured Vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What about reseating the CPU, booting with a single RAM stick, then updating the UEFI? Make sure those power connectors are all seated properly. Can't tell ya how many times that has turned out to be an issue. It's usually something really, really dumb (and simple) that causes a new board to not cooperate. They're usually always good though. If you're already RMA'ing it, I'd simply get a replacement board of the same make/model. That way you don't have to swap up anything else you got.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 13, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2016 Reseating the CPU, i will do tomorrow. Spent too much time on this tonight... 3 minutes ago, Unobscured Vision said: then updating the UEFI? I never got a screen working, so this is irrelevant for now...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 13, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2016 OK, I tried a few other tricks, but its therefore dead. Sending an RMA into Newegg to get a replacement. *plays taps* Hopefully a new one will be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video card of yours, too. I RMA'd a lot of motherboards, hdds, RAM, sound cards, keyboards, mice. It's a neverending battle. I might get a 1060 in the future. Maybe next year/spring.
