Problem with PC i just made...

[clocker]

Unplug everything from the board except the vid card and RAM.
See if you can pass POST and get to BIOS.
If not...
Try moving RAM to different slots and/or different video card.
Reseat HS (most likely cause).

It seems that that's the reason why the motherboard couldn't operate (because one pin was broken off, and one was bent) . Hopefully thats the reason. But thing that really makes me angry is that i'll have to wait for like 2 weeks for processor, by the way can someone please tell me if its possibble to send a produt back to newegg for a replacement/repair , without paying for shipping ?

I don't think that broken pins are covered under warranty.

I have the cpu , its just that i'll have to wait about 1-2 weeks to get another one

Well newegg.com accepted my RMA request , and i read in Newegg policy, that processors can be replaced withing 7 days of purchase and I got the processor on Deceomber 22, 2004 (2 days ago). I'll have to wait till Monday in order to ship the processor back , and the cpu was pretty much Dead on Arrival too...

I notice in your "Hoping to get" list that you plan on mixing the DFI LanParty mobo and a 9600XT video card.
That combination would not POST for me.

Just something to think about.

I already got the items, so its too late for me to turn back. I read that this only occured in a socket A Dfi LanParty MoBo, by the way I actually have a Lan Party UT MoBo , not the "LanParty"; know what i mean ?.

Could you tell us how the pins got bent and broken?

It could help others that read this thread to avoid the same pitfall.

i had the same problem where i started my computer and after 2 mins, it auto shutdowns...
i found out that my cpu was too hot because it was reaching to 96c celsuis,
so i re-attached the heatsink and fan and increased my fan speed..
check your cpu temp, that might be the problem.....

I was talking about the socket 754 board, not the socket A.
Good luck...that combo would not work for me.
