BleepingComputer.com: New build Asus P8p67 EVO, i7 2600, won't boot

Are you serious? You blame Asus because of the errors YOU make in building? If you don't know how to build something ask for help but slandering Asus' products because of YOUR own inabilities makes absolutley no sense whatsoever.

It's one thing if the product was defective from the start but in this case it seems more likely that your inability to read instructions is what lead to this boards early demise. And I'm equally as sure that had you called Asus they most likely would have RMA'd the board that you ruined.

A very good lesson here is to follow instructions, read the manual, and if there's something you don't understand, read the manual again or ask for some help from someone who has a clue as to what they're doing.

I had a very high opinion of bleepingcomputer.com until I found this posting. This post serves no purpose whatsoever that would benefit anyone reading it except to not do what this person did. The further ignorance shown in slandering a product because someone chose not to read the manual or follow simple basic building guidelines also shows a lack of good taste on the part of bleepingcomputer.com. I don't care if it were Thermaltake, NZXT, Antec, or any other company, that's not the point. It is the fact that simply through the user's ignorance this product most likely was ruined. What bleepingcomputer.com is allowing here is slanderous postings of a product that was destroyed by the lack of basic common sense by the user not the product or the manufactureres fault! I can't believe you even allow this on here as it's easy to see where the problem was. Duh.

And that's why the OP is here to get help about this booting problem. Based from the information given, it seems that funlover has done everything correctly when building this computer.

Like put a 4-pin 12v in an 8-pin socket. Yea, that sounds like perfect building practice. Like I posted before, until "Bleep" removed it, someone should have told funlover to yank the bios battery. If you don't give the CPU enough amperage how in God's name do you expect it to do it's job. And Asus has built in failsafes to protect YOU from YOU, so it will naturally not boot til you reset the bios.

Really? Building on a metal tray, doesn't seem to know if he used the standoffs corectly, assumes he did. Connectors not put on properly, but he assumes he put it on properly once and then tries again. Take the mobo out and make it susceptible to static electric OMG.

And then a follow up by someone not even involved with the build blaming the mfg, having absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of the user's skill level?

Sorry this is just too much. Yes he did come here for help and I applaud that but my original problem is allowing slanderous posts by someone not even involved and he offers no facts whatsoever or reasoning. The builder is equally perplexed and seems to have almost no clue what he's doing which is fine but blaming the mfg????

"Uh I hate Asus cause I had problems with them before!" (verbatim) WTF? Is this backwoods Virginia or what?

Sorry, but I dislike ASUS for various reasons their technical support is clueless, their motherboards tend to fail outright and fry CPU's. I lost 4 computers that were built in a factory where they build servers and ASUS failed to replace the motherboards and AMD failed to replace the CPU's. The motherboards after talking to ASUS were over volting the CPU's which cost them to fry. I have also had to deal with other people who had issues with their ASUS boards from not booting up properly to outright not working. I do not recommend ASUS to anyone what so ever. I have had great luck with Abit, eVGA, and Gigabyte. When someone builds a computer I recommend brands who I deem to have knowledgeable support and help options. ASUS has neither.

Tis not slander when it is true.

Hate to spoil the good time that some posters seem to be having...but the OP has resolved the topic of this post.

That being the case, I'd love to hear more of the banter that seems to take place...but I see no point in it for the membership at large .

I don't normally close topics, but I think that this one can be laid to rest...this topic is now closed.

I would also suggest that some of you...read the forum rules...regarding posting protocol...in any forum.
