DOA

Got this board as part of a bundle. Errors out of the box. Thought it was my setup, so I tested all the parts in other computers. Everything else worked but the board. Returned and installed the computer on a new (different brand) board and everything worked without a hitch.

Dead out of the box

This motherboard came as part of a package. I cannot tell if is good or bad because it would not boot. I found that the CPU socket pins were twisted and as a result the CPU may also be fried. Of course this happened over a weekend so I have to wait until Monday to contact anyone. Also, the UBS socket on the board is smaller than the one on the cable that goes with the case.

video error

I plugged in my monitor and nothing was showing up on the screen. To ensure that the monitor wasn't faulty I hooked it up to my laptop and received an image. Next, I installed the on board speaker and restarted the computer and got 1 long beep and 2 short beeps meaning there's a 'video error'. Extremely disappointing.
