Faulty motherboard, No fault found!

[polgee]

I recently bought an asus motherboard and it arrived fine, got the rest of my parts in the next few weeks and started building my computer and turned it on to find no display of any kind. So i turned it off and made sure all the cables were in properly and tried again to the same outcome. Unsure of what part might be broken i swapped components from another computer to find the faulty one which was the motherboard as all my other components worked perfectly in another motherboard.

I RMA'd the motherboard and about a week later i get an email saying it has been tested with no faults however i am adamant there is. If could someone please look into this for me i would be very grateful

Thanks.

thank for your comments.

all my parts are definitely compatible as i took a fair amount of time choosing and making sure they actually work together. I tried then in my mates MB which is 790GX chipset and it worked fine then i retried my own and everything powers on perfectly but I get absolutely no response on my moniter, i tried vga, dvi and hdmi.

Hi,

I have requested information from the testing manager as to what components were tested with the returned motherboard.

Once I have this information I will update the thread.

if you want to know the parts then here: asus m3a78-t, amd phenom II x4 955 black edition, xfx 650w xxx edition, corsair 2gb ddr2 5-5-5-18 RAM.

EDIT: Thank you mark much appreciated.

That seems possible bulldog. The board itself supports the cpu but perhaps the BIOS is the problem.

Hi,

I can confirm the following parts were tested in the returned motherboard:

700w Silverstone
Phenom 2 955
1gb 1333 ddr3

We tested using both the onboard VGA and in addition a PCI-E graphics card.

The board powered up and displayed fine using both. The original fault reported was that the board powered however there was no output to monitor.

Thanks for the info but how do i go about getting it back or what not.

EDIT: Can i ask what BIOS you used as a poster earlier suggest that could have caused the problem
