Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

[Phenomenalspeed]

Well I would think that your opti would boot, however whith a phenom thats not supported by bios. It dosnt beeb or anything, usualy your Hdd light will flash and fans run full speed and thats it. Guess I would check on the Gigabyte site to make sure that opti is supported by that bios and if it is then I guess you were right on the dead board.


I looked it up and that is the only opti supported and on F1 at that. What Ram are you using?

And dont take offence if this question seems like this kind of mistake is way below you cause i dont mean it to but have you made sure that you have the correct 8/4 pin connector on the MB at CPU? Just worth asking as it cant hurt.

It just seems the board must have been working when it was shipped to you or you wouldnt think they would have shipped it without pay to let you test it first if it was dead in there hands.

I was using one of my Corsair CMT2X1024-6400C4 sticks to attempt power on self test.
I have 2 power supplies. One of them only has a 4pin CPU connecter.
The other has both 8pin and 4 pin. I tried all.

I would have thought the same too. The guy said before that he didn't know much about computers and he was selling it on behalf of a friend. I've emailed him. I'm waiting to hear back. Perhaps his friend can shed some light.
