 |
|
I bought A 965P-DS3 and it would not boot up - no beep codes no video
output, but fans did spin-up. I asked Gigabyte what was wrong and they said
it was either the mother board or processor. Got a new processor, fault was
the same. Sent mother board for testing and motherboard was unservicable.
Got a new motherboard and the fault symptoms were exacty the same.
Has anyone else had problems with the 965P-DS3 motherboards?

Mine has been working perfectly since day one.
Is it possible that your Power Supply could be zapping the board? |

No; in fact, it's been one of the very best Core 2 Duo motherboards.
Very early firmware releases were very sensitive to the memory being
used and would not work with a LOT of memory. But this was fixed back
around revision 4 or 5 of the firmware (current firmware is revsion 10
or 11), and it's very unlikely that you would have this issue today.
