PROBLEM
Computer won't boot.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS
1)I have power running to the board, the standoffs are in place, I have troubleshooted multiple powersupplies, still doesn't boot.
2)I have switched cases as well because it may have been a bad case starter switch, still doesn't boot.
3)I have tried new power railings to the mobo main plug, and aux. plug.
This is a brand new Abit AX8 motherboard out of the box. It has changed hands once prior to my receiving it. My friend swears he did not touch the board at all. I tend tobelieve him since the box, and the board were in prestine condition, and the board itself smelled brand new.
What could be the problem, I need Anandtech's help.
Thanks,
