Hey guys. Well I haven't been on here in about a year, but I've come across a problem I just can't solve and I hope that one of you may have a solution.
Alright so about three months ago I bought an XFX 780i board off of ebay. First off, I realize buying a mobo off ebay was a bad idea. I figured I could save some cash compared to buying it off of Newegg and everything was actually fine until this happened.
The problem is that every time I try to boot the system, I get an instant FF on the debug display on the motherboard. The board does not attempt to POST, just an instant FF, no video, nothing. However the fans and hard drives do start up and power on like they normally do...
I've tried a different power supply (that was my first guess at what could be failing), separate RAM, video card... still nothing.
I was able to remove the battery and then boot it successfully, but this only worked a few times, now it'll show "FF" whether the battery is removed or the cmos has been cleared or not.
RMAing the board is not an option since I have a few slightly bent socket pins (this was not advertised in the ebay auction...) and XFX will just send it right back.
Any of you ever seen this problem?
