Hi folks,
Need some help! This system is giving me fits........here goes.
I ordered MOBO from Mwave NF7-S Rev2. I received Rev! with no guarantee on revision # RMA'ed. Bought second one. DIMM2 had broken ram lock #2RMA.
Finally Rev2 with all its parts. Built pc. Hit power button and all fans leds lights etc lit for bout a second or 2 then nada except LED on MOBO.
Removed CPU.............no burn marks and Artic Silver looked ok with no smell. Re-installed it and same. Everything but MOBO LED flashed, fans turned once and stopped.
I think its the cpu but the re-seller says he tested it on nf7-2 and another mobo with np. He said I fried it or had bad ram or old PS. I informed him it wasn't opened till today and all parts new. Heres what went in the case.
NF7-S, AMD XP Barton Core 3000+400 FSB with xaser 11 HSF, 1024 of Corsair TWINX3200LL cas2 Ram, 80 gig Maxtor SATA HD, 500watt Enermax ps, DVDR, Radeon 9800 pro. ETC.
Retiler insists I burned this cpu out. It never cycled. This isn't my first pc by any means.
I need your feedback. Is it the MOBO or cpu?
THANKS!!!
