I bought 5600G from cex received a standard 5600 only just realised

So far i have sent 2 motherboards back to Amazon first one would hang on the gigabyte screen after setting up the bios settings to boot from USB i have created 3 different USB sticks

Second one well this went further it installed windows blue screend and did not boot again then when tried to reinstall it showed a windows logo then blank blue screen

So got another board thinking surely cant be 2 bad boards anyway this loads in to bios then when you reboot all i get is black screen unless i reset cmos and do it again. Bios was updated on all 3 am thinking i have a dud cpu any other suggestions

just check the serial number on the cpu vs the one that's recorded on the cex receipt, if they don't match i think you're going to have a battle on your hands

Sending the miss in to battle with them failing that will contact the bank and do a charge back hopefully they refund it or find me another

Cex tested it an confirmed it’s faulty and refunded it bought a brand new one off Amazon instead hopefully my system will soon be alive
