HAH! Yeah right, it didnt even boot until i spent hours of trial and error. When it did boot it ran for like 10 secs and wouldnt POST again.

Case is under review, hopefully it will work out in my favor.

I didnt do anything YOU DID IT.

Yeah, I damaged it and theres pins on your cpu

You just showed your true colors. The pins are bent broken or whatever they are, AND YOU DID IT. I dont want this motherboard, paypal will give me my money back and i will send this back to you. Why are you being so DIFFICULT!

I bought a P5WD2-E Premium off ebay from "Rivas". Everything went well at first, he sent the motherboard in a timely manor and it was packaged decent. He even forgot the I/O shield and sent in Canada Post Express for free, what a nice guy right? WRONG!! The buy it now on the motherboard was a measly ...

The reason it booted twice is very clear. The pin(s) is a HAIR from making contact with the spot on the CPU. The current arced and it was enough for the motherboard to past its POST tests. On the restart it couldnt make the connection so it failed the POST tests. Very simple.

How can i rip you off when the item is under warranty you stupid moron.IT DOESNT MAKE SENCE.
I regret i even brought you over here with good intensions to help you GEEZE i was so wrong.

End Communication and Escalate to a Claim

Lets make a deal, you give me a refund and ill send everything back ...

I screwed up? Give me a break, ive been building computers for over 5 years. I didnt bend anything. I put my cpu in VERY GENTLE and applied a thin layer of AS5 and thats it.

And just for the record, Your puny little red bar will have no affect on the outcome of this case. Fact is, I did nothing ...

No offense but are you a complete IDIOT!? THERE ARE NO PINS ON MY CPU, ITS LGA-775, THE PINS ARE ON THE MOTHERBOARD. THE MOTHERBOARD CAME FROM YOU SO IF THE PINS ARE BENT YOU BENT THEM!! WOW! THIS IS THE WORST ONLINE TRANSACTION EVER!! I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS BUT ITS GOING TO PAYPAL! YOU ARE ...

How is my CPU broken? We are working with LGA-775! THERE ARE NO PINS ON MY PROCESSOR I really didnt want it to end up like this but if i had to ill file a dispute with paypal and i will win. You sent me a defective product theres no way around it.

Edit - Well, i had a P5SD2-X that was doing the ...

The motherboard was in a Asus bag but i will give you refund.I will use the motherboard for my 3rd computer and i will buy some cheap Pentium D CPU
and if its working i'm opening ebay complain and dispute.
Your cpu bended pin has nothing to do with my motherboard as it was not working with your ...

Two pins are bent, one is bent in a mannor that it still makes contact but its not aligned perfectly. The other pin is bent so bad that its not making contact with the correct spot. This makes sense why the motherboard booted only twice, the current arced and allowed it to boot but on the restart it ...

nope,it fits only 1 direction,the cpu what i used was listed on that ebay auction listed above.I just diassembled it and shipped out.

It only fits one direction but if it was forced in the wrong way the pins will bend with ease. Im not pointing any fingers but i know for a fact that i installed ...

I think i may have found the problem, one of the cpu pins looks bent. Would this cause the motherboard to not post?

Edit - Upon closer review, i noticed a few pins arent perfect. Riva, you didnt try to install a cpu incorrectly did you?

Of course its not in the manual, they only list 15 models under pc2-6400. Most of them are cheap, they dont list any good brands like mushkin ocz g.skill etc. Heck they dont even list any pc2-8000 which we all know works on this board fine. I emailed asus and they said that either one of my ram kits ...

Asus says either set should work fine. A lot of people get great results with the G.Skill i have and the P5WD2-E

Hi, i bought the P5WD2-E from rivas. I've been posting on anandtech and have a few replies but nothing is helping. Heres the thread... http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=27&threadid=1920098&enterthread=y
