As stated in the title my main rig does not do anything anymore when i press the power button on the case or board. Since i first suspected the psu , i hooked it up to my old system, which booted as normal. I already talked to my retailer since i still have 1,5 month of warranty on it, but he told not keep my hopes up, because the RMA with Asrock will take atleast 4 weeks or even 8. Here are my questions: 1. Can i do a mainboard swap without reinstalling windows? plug'n'play? 2. Can anyone recommend me a So.1155 Board? Thank you very much.
If it is a retail windows licence, should be fine to swap straight to a new board, sometimes may require a simple reactivation but otherwise should be straightforward. Budget for the board? Simon
Could also be the RAM or CPU even though it's very unlikely. Have you done the usual, eg: - check RAM modules one at a time, in all available slots - unplug from mains, drain PSU caps, remove battery for 15 mins, then try again - reseat CPU I wouldn't say motherboard was dead unless none of the above works.
i will run the suggested checks from LennyRhys and report back. Oh, nexxo you.. i'm already fighting that little devil in my ear.
i ran all the suggested checks, still nothing.. dead silence. i'm going send it in first thing tomorrow. and nexxo might be right about a upgrade. can i keep my 8gb ddr3 ram for a socket 1150 board?
seems as if i can save some $ on the ddr3 im kinda on a tight budget right now for a upgrade but i need my rig.
