GA-G41MT-D3 Rev 1.3 : No boot

[Intricate]

Both computers were stripped of everything but the main hardware to boot up.
The other PSU was hooked onto my computer, at the first several boots, it had the same problem we were attempting to fix before. Then it booted past the bios and then a checksum error occurred. After a restart, it booted properly, but no hard drives were hooked up as this power supply does not have any sata cables.

Are you as confused as me? At first, I was sure it was the motherboard, then the PSU, and then back to motherboard...now...I don't know what to assume if both the PSU and the motherboard are both functioning...

Well if I was a gambling man i 'd put my 10'r on the psu

I would have to agree.
On a side-note, is there a limited amount of times you could have your hardware replaced when its still in warranty?

[Fatman]

so long as it's under warranty I guess it is limitless? Providing it's faulty of course.

Quite right. As long as the product is faulty and under warranty it is covered.

What beep code do you get when trying to boot?

Have you tried clearing the CMOS and then updating the BIOS to the latest version? It sounds as if, with your checksum error, that you may have a corrupted BIOS. Make sure that you use QFlash and disable the Keep DMI Data when updating.

Well, with the PSU i currently had, it would not even boot into the bios, let alone show you the screen to get in it. I have tried clearing CMOS, no beep codes.
When I tried it with another PSU, it magically works. I'll have the PSU replaced later today and I'll report back if my computer is working normally

I wouldn't be at all suprised if it was the PSU that turned out to be the culprit. Very many members make the mistake of looking everywhere but the power supply when they have problems.

Thank you so much for your help, I've logged a ticket to my PSU manufacturer 5 days ago and they still have not replied back to it...oh well, problem is fixed. Thank you both for the help
