WTB Am2+/AM3 MB

[steveunderwood0]

am guessing motherboard is no good on my computer.  Not starting up, changed power supplies...same thing.  Only symptom I had was that the mouse light didn't turn off one night, so I used the switch on power supply to turn it off.  Checked it in the morning and computer wouldn't even start.  Swapped around Ram (removed sticks, moved them, etc),removed all components and reinstalled them, and still nothing...no beeps or anything.  SO....gotta get a new MB and see if that's the problem.

I WTB an AM2+/AM3 mother board capable of handling pcie, a 3.2ghz black processor, and at least 4gb of ddr2 1066ghz ram.

unplugged everything again, reset CMOS, and it fired up with nothing plugged in.  Systematically plugged in parts til it quit responding.  It was the Front Side USB.  Reset CMOS again, left it unplugged, and thought I was golden....until I plugged it into the monitor....and am getting no output.  Gonna' mess with it a bit more tonight.  But have looked at the ASROC...problem I saw is, isn't that a big step back from the 790x?

It may seem so, but that Asrock board has a LOT of features, and you might just be
able to unlock your CPU to a X3.  What's not to like?

Believe me, you won't notice the difference once your system is back up and running.
That Asrock could be a cheap compromise until you can get a 890X mobo.

...and its cheap too.

yup wound up being the mobo.  So, think I will take your advice...pay the 315 for a temp board, then when I go up in April, do a complete switch.  Buy a i5 quadcore, mobo, ram, case, bd burner.  Pull the hard drive, vid card, use an exisiting 850w power supply, to make a new system.  Then take an old ide drive add it to the am3 board set up, use the on board graphics and give it to my kid.

Thanks again.
