Hi. So me and my brother both have the same computers. i5 2500k @ 4.5Ghz, GTX460, Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 and OCZ 650W PSU
My brothers motherboard packed up two weeks ago. It would turn on, fans and led lights would power up for a second then turn off. This would loop forever. We made sure it wasnt the power supply by plugging in my beast PC Power & Cooling 850W PSU and same thing occured.We also made sure it wasnt the GFX by using a 4870X2 which draws loads more power and it still happened.
We then sent it back to OCUK and we got a new one. (Quickly too, thanks OCUK, best service!)
Then today my PC had the exact same problem. I'm pretty sure as we both run identical builds and the problem is exactly the same that the motherboard is again faulty.
Just to warn people out there that the Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 will probably have problems after two months or we are just extremly unlucky ):
Thanks Joe
