been running the 7750BE @ 3.1ghz with no problem well until now , it just turned its self off and would not restart . it has not lasted as long as my old asrock board . i need something to replace my old gigabyte ma-770-ds3 , something fairly cheap and support the 7750BE and phenom II , ideas please
If you want to OC the board youre going to need a 790 chipset TBH. If not then another 770 should be ok. Possibly a 780 based board if you dont mind an mATX.
Edit :: Anyone want to take any bets someone recommends an Intel 8x00 series chip, board and RAM?

I had a seemingly similar issue, it went off. tried switching off and on without success then pulled the plug. Ten minutes later I thought what the hell, plugged it back in, pressed power and it restarted. Also might be worth checking the fuse if you get no response at all.
tried that did not work , there was a strange smell from the system at the time , tried every component in my old asrock mobo and they work . tried resetting the bios and removing the battery but still the same

Chances are you have blown one or more capacitors. In bad instances these actually pop their tops but look for discolouration and leakage. Some mobo companies had real problems with these, cause they got sub-standard jobs with a wrongly mixed electrolyte fluid. The company might have had some of these delivered or left over. Pics as to what to look for, some just have a slight stain on top-

In that case you shouldnt, but its worth having a close look at the components anyway. Also worth checking when you bought it as most Giga-byte motherboards have a 3 year warranty.
the shop where i got it said it had a year , but what he ment is first year with him and the remaining 2 years with gigabyte . is this correct ? , but then again it lasted just under six months . time for the 790gx chipset me thinks

If it lasted under 6 months then get the shop to fix/replace it, even if you then just sell it on, might as well try for a refund or upgrade too. :thumbup:
i tried but he was not having any of it as it will be returned to gigabyte to be tested/repaired , think i will sell it when i get it back and look else where . if they do replace it i hope they send me revision2 of this mobo as it supports 140w cpus , hope they hurry up and return me a working board as this asrock board is running hot with the kuma at stock
