I spoke to the owner of the board telling me to also flashback the bios since its probably not compatible with my psu or ram. The weird part is I do not have that 4 pin extension on my psu. I've had friends who also own a sabertooth and crosshair boards that needed that 4 pin plugged in able to boot. I've also post a thread on Tomshardware and a lot of people are recommending the flashback option as well the 4 EATX12V pin needs to be plugged in able for the mobo to boot. Unfortunately, a bad mobo is likely too.Ĭlick to expand.I've tried most of the troubleshoot you mentioned except for the flashback option which I've yet to tried. Or any number of perfectly valid reasons. Someone selling a SB/6x board to move to a IB/7x board, someone selling a non-Z board moving to a Z board, etc, make more sense than selling arguably the top AM3+ board to move to.? Maybe the 8350 was used in another system, or maybe sold separately. Given the stagnation of AMD chipsets, I would be more suspect of this motherboard being sold by itself than I would be for different platforms. If that doesn't work, I'd try using the USB BIOS Flashback option (directions in the manual) which will reflash the BIOS without needing (AFAIK) CPU/RAM/Display, or at the very least without needing to boot into the BIOS itself. Clear the BIOS settings via the Clear CMOS button on the rear panel Set the LN2_Mode jumber to Disable (Jump 1 & 2) I would try getting the board back to default settings by: Solid red on DRAM and Flashing VGA and Code FF. However when I press the "go button" there are two red leds that are lit up and one flashing. Plugging them both in including the 24 pin atx connector. I tried plugging in either of them computer will not even turn on as well as The 8 pin can be snapped into half making it 4/4 pins. My Thermaltake TR2 700 Watt Bronze Psu only has the ATX 24 pin, 8 Pin and the rest are for the graphics card connectors. Now I noticed this mobo uses an extra 4 pin power connector labels as EATX12v. I even cleared the bios,but nothing helped. So I checked all the ram, gpu made sure they are all in place, as well as the wire for the Power SW. Hitting that power switch doesn't do anything. So the thing is the motherboard seems to get power only when I press the "Go Button", even lights up. Seller said works fine, I happened to take a snap of his License plate before the deal just in case =) I've bought this board for 130 used on Craigslist.
