GA-890FXA-UD5: No post (power error)

[Christoph]

I have not replace it, I really like this board cuz it has some good features

besides that I wanted so badly to change sides from Asus to Gigabyte.


Asus support sucks, please Gigabyte, hear me and don't let me down  


we still need to know what those beeps means, cuz I'm buying ahother psu tomorrow and I not gonna put it to work on the UD5

[Dark Mantis]

Yes i would have to agre with you about the ASUS technical support being hopeless. Gigabyte is better but still slow and if it wasn't for this forum there would be a lot more dissatisfied customers. The problem being that the only link between us and Gigabyte is their official moderator, runn3R, and he is overworked and can't devote his entire time to the forum.

[Christoph]

yeah

this community is kinda good, I like the communication that rules over here.


But as you have said, we still need more people from Gigabyte checking the forum cuz this is taking forever and I need my computer running not sitting just there

[Christoph]

I have to tell you guys that I bought a new PSU that didn't work either so I ended up returning the psu

we need to know what is the problem with the board.


any news about it? I thought by now we would get an answer

[Dark Mantis]

Hi again Christoph, I am afraid that you picked a bad time for you system to go faulty, runn3R has just come back off holiday and is now trying to catch up, on top of that he is getting ready for this show so I don't think we will be seeing a lot of him for the rest of the week. Did you put a question into GGTS?

[Christoph]

Not really

but this other guy have sent the video that he took about his MB, and I was kinda hoping that would've be enough to get their attention

[Dark Mantis]

It may be but I would have to advise you to take your own approach too. Not only that the more people that make a complaint/fault question the more notice it will receive.  It is always logged for any future problem you might have.

[Christoph]

Done


but I know that it would take 4-5 days to get an answer, that actually will be converted to a question


this is my first time that I emailed Gigabyte, we'll see how they handle it

[Dark Mantis]

Well let us know the answer too please. 

[Christoph]

well there's another guy with his MB being halt by Gigabyte for more than a week

 
and there's another guy that got his MB back from Gigabyte and guess what?  No trouble found

[Dark Mantis]

To be honest not all RMAs are valid and as we have found out later here on the forum sometimes there is a different reason for the problem. We try and reach the right decision give the facts but that doesn't make us infallible.

The one you are referring to regarding his board being in RMA for some time was just due to bad timing, not his fault obviously, but these things happen. 

[Christoph]

so


any news about this?

any other suggestion?

[Dark Mantis]

No, not that I have seen so far. Everthing is very quiet 

[Christoph]

How come nobody else is getting issues with this board?


only a bunch of motherboards turn to be bad?


and then, why Gigabyte is not doing anything as one guy got his board back from Gigabyte with the same problem claiming that the board has nothing wrong

I am sure that others are having problems as well Christoph. It may be that they went direct to GGTS and didn't come to the forum or it might be that they are buried deep amongst the other queries.
As far as the chap who had his board returned as NFF(No Fault Found before somebody puts their own description to the acronym) it could well be true. Maybe there is some other explanation for the problem. I am not trying to stick up for Gigabyte but you have to be fair in your assessments. We have made wrong diagnoses before.
