Well, the reason why I haven't gotten back to you is obvious, it bombed out.
Nothing happened when I hit the power button. I then switched over the power
front panel connectors or connector 180 degrees and nothing still happened.
No fans turned, a noise did happen I think to the sound card, but that was
nothing too, I guess. I then switched it back, the front panel connector for
the power button, and then raised the motherboard up out of the tower, to see
if there was a short or something shorting it out, and tried it that way, and
still nothing. I unhooked all the devices and tried it that way, thinking
maybe too many devices and not enough power, but nothing happened still.
I figure the mobo that newegg.com sent me back, unsealed, was the same mobo
I had sent to back to them. I think they did nothing. I say unsealed, because
when they sent me the first intial package it was sealed. This time, no it
wasn't. If it was a new mobo it would've been sealed with plastic, right?
Ok, I have a new RMA number and newegg.com is taking it back again. I have
to get it ready to go. Last time I didn't wait for the second e-mail and sent
it off with the RMA number and when I got to the post office they charged me
7 bucks to send it to newegg. This time I've waited a day and now I have 2
e-mails, one with the instructions on how to send it back with the RMA
number, and the other with the UPS stamp so it won't cost me anything, that
also has an RMA number.
I got them this time, I put a black mark on the mobo to see if the one that
they send me back is the same mobo that I'm sending to them now.
Ok, I still have to get this other mobo the Elitegroup going, I have the
heatsink now. Ok, again, model #GF6100-M754. People are having problems
because this mobo says it can use DDR 400 RAM and there is an addendum saying
it can't use DDR 400 RAM. The funny thing about this, or weirdo thing about
this, is that they sent a promotional DDR 400 Kingston RAM stick with it.
I've bought a DDR 333 Kingston heat spreader RAM stick for it, Kingston
Hyper-X 512 stick. So, I'm ready to go on this other PC. This living room PC
started the domino effect and now I've bought a dump-load of stuff from Dell,
newegg, and best buy.
Alrighty, going to get this packaged for the UPS carrier and then I can
start on the other PC.
Thanks, attilathehun1
