I purchased a Motherboard from Ebay…bad move I can hear you cry! I have had nothing but trouble and am wondering if it could be just coincidence or if it is in fact the Mobo.
The trouble…I keep getting the dreaded blue screen for memory dump even though the comp has been running for a while with no probs. It will then not boot at all, the power comes on and the hard drive light stays permanently on. I can switch the blessed thing on and off till the cows come home but nothing. The only way to get it to work is to leave it for a while and then try again and then, if I am lucky, it will start but for how long is anyone’s guess. Sometimes the thing just freezes and again will not restart. This is an ongoing problem. I have tried changing my graphics card as it also started to go wrong when I installed my new 8800GTS but to no avail. Is there any way I can test the Motherboard to see if its that or something else. I installed the board myself and am wondering if I have done it right and its not my building skills that have effected a tits up scenario.
Motherboard is an ASUS P5N32-SLI SE DELUXE
Any advice is gratefully received, thanks
