I had the exact same problem, its most likely the.mothetboard. I'm 90% sure of it.

mine worked fine. I was just recommending it because its lowest priced FX series supported motherboard. I installed all the drivers on win7 and it seems to work just fine.. it doesn't have all the extra slots for SLI / Crossfire but its a very capable budget motherboard. As for it being old I...

that's what I run. good and stable.. sometimes the 500w drops down. hope I helped

a lot of those connecters are 8pin(4+4) you can pull it apart.. if your familiar with the 24pin(20+4) pin atx power connector.. they come apart similiarly and are pretty common on the psu's your probably looking at..

Hard to say. I have 4130 and I love it but all the reviews say that it runs hotter and is less power efficient than the vishera line of CPU's I think in the long run you will be happier and better served with fx 6300 if you can afford the extra 20 bucks.. If you haven't already looked check...

@smorizio he said he followed the checklist and breadboard tutorial.. We were operating under the assumption theres no short and all the basic issues have been checked and double checked.

Depends really on what you are wanting to get out of your build and what you will be using your system for.. I guess light gaming with hopes to upgrade in the future. Go with the 6300 , hands down.. you get the l3 cache which gives you the edge even without the extra two cores. Make sure to...

Will do, Called a computer repair place to get a price on testing and they just suggested RMA of the motherboard.. It should be here today so lets keep those fingers crossed for me!

Ok before you the blame the ram let me ask... maybe I missed this.. do you have an internal system speaker setup? are you getting any bios beeps. you should atleast get a beep to let you know if your ram has failed. You can get your compute to power up , spin fans and diagnose components one at...

Yeah the Corsair should be able to handle it. It is rate Plus 80 and that is very good for a budget Power Supply. You should have no problems running that board. That PSU has the PCI-E cord if your gpu needs one.. I don't remember if it does.. I recommend you upgrade to a 500 or 600w power...

That's what I was thinking but since ive spent all my free time this week getting frustrated at my new build I thought so I would ask for a 2nd opinion.. Amazon is pretty quick.. Ill call some of the shops around my area to get prices on a diagnostics to make sure.. This was cheap motherboard so...
