Testing Report: Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Rev. 1.1

[Lestat]

i have had a number of asus boards die like that.

found it it was something to do with the ram and it corrupting the bios... you'd turn it on and the only thing that would happen is the fans would come on.
12v/3.3v/5v measure points on the board all seems good. but you'd hit the switch and nothing would happen.
you could pull the ram out and the cpu and it would not even beep at you.

something to think about if you can hotflash the bios chip... or get another one from gigabyte
