I bought this board to replace a similar board I wrecked while recapping.
Short story, bought this from a super-reliable source, didn't get around to testing it within 30 days, now it appears to be DOA.
Specific problem, on boot up it beeps four time, pauses, then beeps 4 times again, and so on.
No video, no boot. unplugged fans, removed ram, still the same 4 beeps. This is out of the case, so no grounding issue.
This board is 800FSB, tried various 800FSB CPUs, still the same. 2 different PSUs, no change.
So I am thinking this one is trash.
Question: does Post card have any use other than identifying that board is crapped?
$28 bucks down the drain, I won't return to IBM boards, many better out there like this lovely GigaByte I'm using right now
