About LinkBacksDoh! Missed the new PSU bit. Yeah has to be mobo, but it's still possible it was killed by the original PSU.

aye forgot to add that, don't put your new mobo on the old PSU, until you can guarentee that the PSU is flaw free.Originally Posted by Thorsson
what PSU is it (i.e. generic or corsair, seasonic etc etc?)
is the PSU hooked up to a surge protector?
what county do you live in? (im sure there will be a website for national grid stability and power surges caused in the area and also storms)

It would help alot if you want help.How do we know your not ramming an agp card in a pci-e slot for example.You could try clearing the CMOS jumper on the motherboard,does the motherboard light come on if it has one.System specs are needed.

Zalman 500W PSU / Tagan 430W PSU (tried both)
ASUS P5E X38 Motherboard

Motherboard light is permanently lit.
Cannot see any damage to capacitors, but I am not so sure that I would be able to spot it.
Both graphics cards work in other PC.
Maybe reseat heatsink/s?

Well just try the CMOS jumper to reset the bios,but sadly i think you mobo may need returning for a replacement if possible.
I will try this in a minute... luckily the board is under warranty, and every system part was bought from the same retailer, so it's their fault one way or the other...
One last question... I had a RAID 5 array and a RAID 0 array on that motherboard... will the new mobo pick up those arrays alright... I shouldn't lose any data? It's ICH9R... I know that nForce 3 RAID stores RAID info on the drives and not on the board.
FIXED!!! Just reset the CMOS and it was totally fine... wish I had thought of that before physically removing everything from the PC case! Ah well, much better than having to send off for an RMA...
good to hear that you've fixed it.
i'd presumed that you'd already tried clearing CMOS,my bad
