Stalling...boot loop?

[PP Mguire]

Not to be rude, but that's dumb. Unless you plan to buy one while you wait for an RMA. No sense in buying 2 when you don't need to.

Oh yeah i agree. It just takes to long to rma. Unfortunately my local tiger direct doesnt carry the same motherboard but i got a slightly betterodel for $20 more than what the last cost... i like it better anyway its a little bigger allowing for a more stable connection to the case... the last one had something like 4" past the last screw and this was where the atx power plugged in which made for a lot of worry of torqing the board. But i managed to rebuild it with the new board in a rather un-ideal state after a friends retirement party... looking back i should have waited til this morning but hey it works! Hopefully now i can work out a return on the busted board.

Thanks for your insight! I really appreciate the help

For boards like that just stick your finger under the over hang. I have to do it all the time.

Ok so this is my fist post and visit to the Tech Forums (Hiya!)
Have you tried swapping your ram sticks? The rig I built just four days ago Worked for a day then it stopped turning on in a similar way to yours. In the middle of troubleshooting I removed one of my two sticks and it booted fine, I put the other stick back in to make sure of the ram problem and it stopped booting.
Great Day and good luck!
