<0> Yeah
<1> remove all extra devices.. HD's..etc (including cables) except for the ram, processor and 1 cd/dvd drive and try to boot from a bootable disk
<1> (also any pci cards)
<1> checked jumpers on the mobi (if any)
<1> *mobo
<0> Yeah :(
<0> Nothing happens
<1> I've encountered some mobos with the bios reset pin in the incorrect position
<0> I hit the power button and absolutely nothing happens
<0> I tried that, too, the CMOS pin
<1> wait, nothing happens? not a beep, no fans spin, nothing?
<0> Nope
<0> Nothing at all
<0> With 2 diff PSU
<0> Tried two different power buttons, too
<1> (does your PSU have their own on/off switches in the back?) and did you try using a different PSU cable?
<0> Yeah
<1> (and are you plugging them into a multi-outlet?
<1> (make sure IT is on..)
<0> I've tried other outlets
<1> could be bad cpu, bad psu or bad mobo
<1> with bad ram, you usually get some response
<2> whats wrong?
<0> Basically what happens is, when I flip the I/O switch on the PSU, I hear the PSU kick on but nothing happens with the PC
<0> Nothing
<0> 0
<0> No fans, no beeps, no LED, nothing
<3> inoit: you come to the same conclusion i did
<3> bad cpu/mobo
<1> nod
<0> I doubt it'd be the CPU, though, because the mobo would probably attempt to post, right?
<1> MrBriggs no
<1> not neccessarily
<0> CPU is fresh out of the box, seated properly, no bent pins
<3> doesn't matter
<2> what
<2> cpu
<2> ?
<0> X2 4800+
<1> MrBriggs bring the cpu to a local store and ask them to test it
<0> How much will they charge, you think?
<1> (call first to ask them if they have a cpu tester)
<3> you could of fried the board installing it
<1> most will do it free
<2> how much 4800+ cost
<3> which doesn't mean anything about the cpu
<0> 630
<3> i've seen it happen
<2> could be anything, PSU you didn't setup something right
<2> you fried something
<3> if the cpu tests good, your board is probably fried
<4> bored board
<0> Can I RMA it if I fried it?
<2> iv've seen people fry PC dispite how much they think they know about putting there pc together
<1> MrBriggs you can try ;)(
<3> like our friend said, go to a independent store and test the cpu
<2> one guy totally destroyed his dvd-r
<3> mrbriggs: by not telling them you fried it
<2> who told me
<0> Ok.
<3> that you bought it that way out the box
<0> So tommorow I'll get the CPU tested..
<3> dUH!!
<3> hehe
<0> If the CPU tests properly then it's gotta be the board, right?
<1> MrBriggs just tip whoever tests it for you
<3> let them figure out the possibilities
<3> hehe
<0> Just RMA the board?
<1> $5 or $10
<3> yeah
<2> YEH but
<1> *If* they test it for free
<2> sometimes boards are picky
<2> what ram you put in
<1> if they want to test it for $, no more thasn $30
<2> etc
<2> or PSU
<3> as rock will require you to fill out a form and show a recipt
<3> just so you know
<3> they're idiots
<2> I know I got a picky board
<0> iNToIT: I know some guys at thi sone place, I'll just be like, "Hey man, if I throw you 5-10 bucks would you mind testing a CPU for me quick?"
<2> it's good
<2> but picky
<0> Why can't I just return it to NewEgg?
<3> if it's 30 days, yeah, go ahead
<1> but I would just RMA both the CPU and the board at this point
<3> that's better
<1> and get replacements for each
<3> intoit: i wouldn't, i'd test the cpu
<1> if they ask why, you say "one of these is no good, because one doesn't work, I have no way to tell if the other doesn't work."
<3> rma'n a piece of hardware that might be good makes no sense
<1> well
<3> putting yourself at the mercy of 2 rma depts

<1> in his testing, the other may have been damaged
<3> instead of just one
<1> you can never tell
<2> CPU could be bad
<1> since he has no way to test the board
<1> if the cpu is bad
<2> maybe a pin does not register
<2> to the mobo
<3> intoit: unlikely... alot of time a board could be fried in an area unrelated to the cpu, causeing it not to boot
<1> rma both and rolld the dice on getting two new working replacements
<3> it happens tho
<2> yup
<2> RAM your CPU and MOTHERBOARD
<1> i agree
<3> i just like to know exactly why something doesn't boot
<1> but in his case
<1> why risk it
<3> then rma the bad piece of hardware
<3> it's all rma'able
<3> well
<2> I dunno your experience with PC so if you done all you know you could
<2> RMA
<3> you have a point too
<0> How do I RMA the CPU to the manufacturer?
<1> if he finds the cpu is bad, RMA's it, he may still find out the board is bad, after waiting for the replacement cpu
<0> I can't RMA it to NewEgg it says I ahve to go through AMD
<3> yeah, see
<2> yeah
<3> that's the point i was making
<2> all CPU can NEVER rma to were you bought it
<1> MrBriggs, get the CPU tested
<3> amd is good for rmas but they also take time
<2> must be though the company
<1> then worry about the cpu
<0> iNToIT: Will do, 1st thing in the morning
<3> as rock is going to be a bitch
<3> just to let you know
<2> motherboards are easier
<3> if you need to rma through them
<3> so rma through newegg
<3> as rock ****s
<0> mre: I can RMA the ASrock right to NewEgg
<2> why under 30 days the place you bought it takes it back
<1> and newegg *always* RMA's bad CPU's for me
<0> I'm betting it's the board
<2> CPU - no
<0> iNToIT: IT says they wont:

<3> i just bought my new cpu there :P
<1> MrBriggs telling you hwat they do for me.
<0> Is NewEgg fast with RMAs?
<2> MrBriggs - RMA your CPU and MOTHERBOARD
<3> X2 3800 tho
