i have went through 2 motherboard in the last 2 months, neither have worked upon arrival. i went to newegg last week, ordered a Epox EP-8RDA3I and it arrived today. got it, poped it in, and i get a "FF" boot code on the LED. As far as i understand, "FF" either mean sucessful boot, or total failure. if it doesnt go through other code and goes straight to FF upon power up, its total failure....and that is the case.
now back into the box it goes, another $7 to send it back to newegg, $8 restocking fee....
*sigh* how can newegg do this to me....
but on the other hand, 3 motherboard did the same thing, power up the fan, hdd, just no boot....could this be a cpu problem? DAMNIT...i have no other amd system to put my Amd in....
guess I'll try an Asus....hopes it work, if not, im going to say "fuck it" and upgrade to 64bit
