I just can't have nice things....
I got an Asus P5E x38 motherboard today. Took it home and planned for a nice sedate switchover. Got it swapped out and didn't even have to redo any of the water cooling loop.
Well it doesn't boot. Monitor never shows any signal. I don't have a speaker, so I can't hear if it is giving me beep codes. Turns on and off, the DVD drive opens and the light flashes but other than that...nothing.
Last motherboard had to be RMA'd to DFI. The 939s from DFI I had prior to that only one ever worked right out of the box...the other 3 all had to be babied up to a stable boot.
Oh well, I guess I'll pull the e6300 from my work computer, and the 5200FX that is old-style PCI, and a case speaker, and start trouble shooting after work. First 1 dimm, 5200fx and e6300 and see if I can get a boot.
Just really-really-REALLY annoying....
Even worse annoying than having to watch the "Star Wars Holiday Special".
