Computer help
I bought one of those tigerdirect kits - well I have bought several, but this is the first I have ever had a problem with.
It was one of the higher end builds Asus P8277-V boards i5-3570k kingston hyperX red Coolermaster hyper212 plus anyway, got it all together last month and wouldn't work....MemOk light on board just stayed on. Tried everything, ended up RMA Got new board to today - installed it and doesn't work No beeps, video or anything - power light on board and everything else seems fine Could I have gotten another bad board? How do I know if CPU is bad? Anyplace near 60 and Garfield I can take it to? If it is just another bad board I am tempted to just throw away the money and get a different board |

Hi
I have been building pc's for about 15 years and I have never seen a Bad CPU, so I would rule that out. The core i5-3570k is an ivy bridge processor and most likely your motherboard requires a firmware update to recognize the new CPU. you would need an older Sandy bridge CPU to use long enough to do the firmware update. Hope this helps Cliff |

I just read all the reviews on newegg for that board and it seems the ram slots are bad in several of the reviews.
Also Montu is correct the board is suppose to support Ivy bridge out of the box. Do you have a known good "Name Brand " Power supply ? A picture of the inside of the case would actually be a big help in this case Last edited by clsA; 01-09-2013 at 1:14 PM.. |
