hi there guys replace core 2 duo with core 2 quad and new heatsink, could not get a post, tried reseating ram, pulling CMOS battery etc still no post, replaced with original components and still cant get post now, any ideas ?

Sounds like the socket got F-ed up, especially if it don't even make a bleep.
I swear you almost need a clean room to handle LGA 775! 775 may break if you even breathe a certain way.

alot of other people seem to have same kinda issues
Possibly you do not have any clue of what you are doing there, this board is relatively fresh and comes with three years warranty.
You better test and another PSU with it, possibly your old one collapsed by trying to power the quad CPU.

This. I've seen that happen so many times with Asus hardware.
I heard this is the most likely to happen on A7N8X boards. Because of an nForce 2 flaw that causes BIOS corruption.
But, even with an nForce 2, that's mostly unlikely unless OC'ing the FSB a major amount.
Unstable FSB is the most likely cause on an nForce 2 board that's been working properly until recently.
And more likely to occur on an A7N8X version 1x.
One of the message boards I went to had folks talking about A7N8X boards dying often and it seemed that a lot of them were 1.04s.

It happens on all Asus boards from the last several years. Some of the higher end ones might be OK, but in general, Asus motherboards are low quality junk.
I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

From my set of experiences I am aware that most INTEL based boards are hard to die.
The guide lines regarding PCB design are identical.
Regarding quality of parts? I would not worry if the manufactures have such a faith to offer three to five years warranty (P4C800-E).
Actually one shorted USB stick it did manage to damage my P4C800-E, and I did got a working refurbished, four months before the five years warranty expires.
About motherboards made in the last two years, I have no experiences, even so what sounds as reasonable to me, is that in every comparison it is more reasonable to use just the model name and not the manufacturer name.
By my book, the successfully made models are worthy for admiration.
