So my 1 year old Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R bit the dust last week when my son accidentally turned off the surge protector. Went through all the tests, to it to the local shop, swapped PSU's, the whole 9.
No biggee, I thought. So I bought the GA-EP45-DS3L from New Egg, hooked it up, still wasn't working. Took it back to the local shop and they ran a test and said it's the MB. The PSU, RAM, HDD, CPU all work.
Wow. So I guess you can buy a brand new MB and it has the probability of being DOA?
So today I bought the ASUS P5Q Pro and am returning the GA-EP45.
I've been pretty lucky with New Egg I'm just kinda in shock that the MB is DOA. I've read about it happening to other people but I guess it's now my turn huh, heheh.
