Right. I'll try keep it brief.
Having bought an ABIT NF7-S from Aria's Bargain Basement, I spent 2 weeks trying to get it to POST without success with my Barton 2500+, a Coolermaster X Dream II, 2x256MB Corsair ValueSelect and ancient Nvidia Riva TNT2 64 video card.
Having tried literally everything I could think/read about, I returned it. Aria took 4 WEEKS! to tell me that the board works. So, what should I do? The only thing I can think of is that the PSU (being a generic 300W one inside a cheap King Case K2-530-sl Silver Jumbo Case from eBuyer) is not sufficient. But I've tried a barebone setup, only CPU and RAM, with no result, no beeps, nuffink. Surely even a cheap 300W PSU can supply enough stable juice to fire up such a minimal setup? Should I return the case and PSU to Ebuyer as faulty/misrepresented, or just stump up for a proper PSU? Or am I missing something?
Sorry for the long post, many thanks for any help offered for my desperate situation!
