Also, last time it turned on, it actually started when i switched to "-" on the psu.

Green light on motherboard is on.

Did you use one standoff (no more-no less) for every mounting hole in the Mobo?

Actually, one of the stand offs that are suppost to stay attached to the case so the screws can screw into something wont actually stay in the case, if other screws are removed, it will come out with the motherboard? Is this the problem?

I just don't want to send the case back if its the power supply, every item will probably take close to two weeks for me to get a replacement.

Just took it apart, and put everything together again with out the screw and standoff in the spot that wont stay attached to case and got no power up.

Ok.

I benched tested and nothing.
Well looking at the power supply, i noticed it has white foam in it. Like literally, it looks liked someone dropped toothpased in it. I don't understand, and i cant find anything on it online either. I'm calling corsair technical to figure out "what the hell"..

[amorales559]

Ok called, guy sounded surprised about the white gew, but further research says it could be normal/glue.

Used a paper clip to test to see if a fan would turn on with the psu, and it worked.

That means its the board?
Calling Asus technical, and been on hold for awhile...

[amorales559]

Called Asus Technical.
"John" said he thinks mobo is dead. or "dead dead" as he said.. O.o

currently on the phone for a return from tiger direct listening to "love story" by Talor Swift for hold music.................

[amorales559]

Lots of replies...

Their sending a new one Monday for me, free 2day shipping. That's good.

One last thing, about the stand off in the case, what should i do? Replace the case or something? The board is very secure without the one standoff being attached, but if it can cause a problem or be the root of my other board failing, i need to know lol.

Thanks for the help again,
I'll post when i receive the new mobo.

My sympathies on the Mobo problem and having to listen to Taylor Swift.
Are the threads for the Mobo standoff in the case stripped in that one hole?

[amorales559]

not striped exaclty.. u can screw in the stand off but wont tighten as much as its supposed to and will just keep spinning if you try.. so when it comes to screwing in the screws with the mobo the screw after a certain point will just keep spinning as well.. though it does hold it in place even if it does leave room between the standoff and the screw top

[Tyree]

I would use the standoff and put a screw in it. It will offer support for the Mobo.
