Faulty motherboard.

Everything worked fine with my spare motherboard.

Nice one Surveyor good on ya!

Trying to go through customer service now, hoping for an instant replacement or refund, I want to play bf3 NOW

major props to Surveyor for being so helpful! Wouldn't have been very stuck with no idea what part was faulty if it wasn't for him.

Nice one mate

, I have been watching this thread since it started was hoping to spot something he missed but you had all the bases covered.

Not a nice feeling when you have to find a faulty part and have no spares to test it with. Had a similar problem a month ago with my motherboard

Hope you get it sorted as quickly as possible, it's a horrible process having to fault find individual parts. Have to echo the praise as well Surveyor, just shows why I love this community

As the thread went on I was saying to myself "this guy needs to get somebody round to help".

Prop's to Surveyor for taking one for the team

- mikeyparkster, when your pc is working, leave it alone or the next visit by Surveyor may not go down so well

Formatted + re-installed a work colleagues laptop on Saturday (nothing in comparison to hardware fault finding) but spent most of my time twiddling my thumbs waiting for patches etc. to download over there 512k DSL

I don't suppose many would go to a strangers house to help them with their computer, so hats off to Surveyor.

As for the OP, I hope you get your part replaced/computer fixed soon!
