Got my new machine built the other day, it was running fine. Today I turn it on and I hear a crackle and power goes out. The PSU is putting out power to the board but when you hit the start button on the board nothing - the fans give a little blip of movement, but then stop. So got an RMA number from newegg to return the MB, I just hope nothing happened to the CPU I will be pissed if it got fried. So now I need to pick out another board, I am not getting the same one again. |

Motherboard Manufacturer Checklist: 1. Are you overclocking? Yes: Buy ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA, or MSI No: Buy Intel 2. Are you using more than 1 video card? Yes: Buy Z68 Chipset No: Buy P67 Chipset That solves your problem ... |

Well I had the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 MB, which decided to commit suicide after 2 days. I had only just started playing with the OC yesterday I had gone up to 4.2 on the i5 2500k CPU. It was supposed to be a good board however... |

If you examine the motherboard, can you determine what failed? Can you identify any scorch marks, or anything? |

Is any part of the motherboard in contact with the case? (i.e. are the motherboard standoffs in the right holes?) |

I looked at the board but I didn't see anything. The standoffs were all good I triple checked all the locations before I put the board on. I already got my rma from new egg and shipped it out. I swung by the local microcenter and picked up a new MSI board and will work on putting it together again tomorrow. Although I have to run out one more time the MB I just bought only have 2 sata cables and I need 3 %&^$. Plus I need to clean the thermal paste off of the sink and cpu. |

It's great having a Microcenter nearby, ain't it? They're fairly competitive on pricing on some of the big stuff I was gonna buy for my new build, and have all the piddly S#$@ that you need & forgot. I'm a few miles from the one in Michigan, and it's like a toy store.

Oh yes, it is a great store. They also said the price match with new egg which I didn't know before. It is only about a 10 minute drive to my local one. |
