Try and isolate the cause of the problem.

Try your 280 in a friends computer.

If everything works fine, and the motherboard still doesn't POST with a different PCI-e card, then try a different power supply. If that still doesn't work contact Intel Support. Once they run a couple of diagnostics past you they'll probably recommend an RMA.

Good luck.

Dear, the man must have whole store with spar parts... .
Boys, didn't you understand that this board is crap piece of hardware, which work properly only on 4th of July each year...and only when the 4th of July is Sunday...

That's why I mentioned a friend's computer.

On a different note, I'm getting a 26" Samsung T260 for this bad boy. Should be with me tomorrow.

After release of vista sp1,the only way to crack vista is bios emulation method that is running linux code making to think vista that you have branded system(like acer,dell etc.,which comes with vista that doesnt need activation)which doesnt need activation.

In my view its the crack making the problem.

You could buy an OEM copy of Windows from a reseller such as Newegg or Mwave, but only if you purchased a “qualifying non-peripheral computer hardware component” with it, that is branded systems that have already made contract with microsoft to preactivate Vista.

This is what I know.IF I am wrong,Sorry!

If you have purchased genuine version from tigerdirect,I think that OEM version will work with only some qualified branded systems like dell,aser,asus etc., and not with Dp45sg intel board.

Contact the support team to clarify this.

2 Radeоn 4850? OMG... you build military F16 flight Simulator?

I was thinking of getting a system developer edition from amazon(although this version is tied to the motherboard when installed so I'd be SOL if that motherboard dies if I'm not mistaken). I'm just waiting for my deposit to post to my account before I start ordering stuff,been looking at deals already for my parts

I wish! Check out the crossfire benches I did here. At 1440x900 even crossfire sometimes doesn't manage to take some games out of the 60fps minimum threshold (think crysis). At 1920x1200 I'm going to need every last bit of juice those 4850s can throw my way.

This is not correct-I have such OEM version of Vista on Supermicro board.
Never had a single problem.

Never play game on comp. Except chess sometime.
It is the same like drive Volvo in the desert.

Why do you continue to linger in this thread?

I have this board, and have had ZERO problems with it. ZERO. So don't base your assumptions on the issues here, or at the very least quit bitching until you get one and experience it.

I am also an Intel distributor, and sell quite a few of these to my customers. Guess what? NO ISSUES. Shocking.

You are nothing but a troll, and don't contribute ANYTHING to this thread.
(And I fed the troll by posting this)

[panzerino]

I had this board for weeks months ago. Nothing but problems i had. And be unable to solve them.
If this thread 100pages is not proof how bad this board is? which are?
It is true, that threads like these collect peoples with problems, which most of the time are not representative of the true quality of one motherboard. It is true also, that for the regular users, which are not too "in depth", one motherboard may be problem free simply because they do "not search too much".
My humble opinion is that the Intel motherboards by the time became less and less quality product and the Intel support especially in choosing the parts are bad and insufficient (why these people do not mention true RAM name, instead of the chips name?) . Only their high price sector have the quality, which many boards today have from their lower price segment.

You may disagree, but this is my opinion.

Crysis looks awesome on my son's 22 inch,he's already thinking of getting a 32" LCD(He stole my GTX 260 btw lol) So you're gonna be happy with that new 26" I'm probably going for a 280 or maybe a 295 if I'm lucky enough to find one with the right price,I should have my system built by March 9th if I'm lucky(depending when parts come in).

[hawkeyelom]

Well, he posted here since the posts indicating a DVD crack and he did not respond to those posts. so:

I can thus only conclude he has a cracked DVD--lets ignore this guy until and if he clarifies whether he has a cracked DVD.

I'm also looking forward to it for all my HD content. Can't wait to see 1080 video with none of the pixels being left out. The native horizontal resolution of the monitor is exactly equal to 1080 video (1920 pixels), so I should get a perfect picture. The vertical rez is 1200, and 1080 has vertical rez of 1080, obviously, so i'll have a 60 pixel black-band on top and bottom. Which I don't mind at all, as it just means more real estate on my desktop. I also only like widescreens in a 16:10 ratio, and nothing else.
