OMG, im soo excited but angry at the same time.
Here's the story, I bought the ASUS P5B Deluxe Wifi at CompUSA, put everything together while and get paid to do it haha My boss told me to build it myself so I was on the clock and built my computer together.
Anyway, the stupid thing still did not post!!!! So we tried using a E6400 Processor that was opened and returned by a costumer and it still does not work. Apparently there are three things that can cause the motherboard to not post and that is if the CPU is dead, motherboard is dead and the Power Supply is not giving any power to the CPU.
So, we used a different power supply and it posted! that was on the E6400 without a heatsink haha cuz we didnt install the heatsink and it was returned by a costumer so we took the risk
Then we used my CPU the E6600 I bought at newegg and it posted using a different power supply. So we now believe it is the power supply that is wrong not the motherboard. Im angry because if we did this the first time i sent it to CompUSA I would not have end up returning the MSI motherboard which I will be charged 15% restocking and ordering the same one, and I will also be charged a 15% restocking fee when I return it because I no longer need it.
So now my build is the same except I have the ASUS P5B Deluxe Wifi motherboard instead. I will have to contact newegg on monday to get an RMA on the Powersupply and just exchange it so I wont be charged a restocking fee.
I dont know but that Corsair is supposedly a good power supply but i guess i was just unlucky afterall.
So my computer is not running because i dont have a powersupply but it does run if i used a different power supply. Hopefully everything goes well when I get the replacement PSU.
Thanks for the help here, I will be posting in this site all the time, this is an awesome forum. I will greatly recommend this forum to my friends who are interested in computers
