Hello guys. Let me start by stating the issue first.
So my beloved Bella (yes I named her) even though she seems to boot, I get "no signal" on her monitors.
This is something that would happen once every blue moon, I'd wait for 10 minutes and then everything was ok.
In the past few days though this happens all the time. Occasionally it runs normally but it's really rare.
I took it to a store, they tried everything and told me the problem seems to be the motherboard.
note: it's a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 . They didn't have any LGA1155 socket mobos there though to test if it works with a different one.
I also called about 15 stores in my city. NOBODY has 1155 mobos and it will take them forever to bring one.
bottom line: the problem seems to be the motherboard but we can't be 100% sure.
Now the problem is that finding a 1155 mobo is really hard (I don't want to upgrade to a more modern mobo because I have an i7 2600k. It will be really costly to upgrade).
I'll probably buy one from the internet and install it and hope that the problem is trully the mobo.
I found some affordable options that I think will work with my build.
1) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabyte-...123426?hash=item3f6e849962:g:KxwAAOSwcUBYG6v0
2) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GIGABYTE-...445373?hash=item41b705327d:g:WYIAAOSwB09YG7A7
3) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GIGABYTE-...366210?hash=item3d2649a742:g:GlIAAOSwCGVX4f3b
My build:
GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (seems like it's failing)
Intel i7 2600k
Corsair 750HX power supply
Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR3 SDRAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1280 MB GPU
So basically:
1) What would you advice me to do as a solution?
2) If buying a new mobo is your suggestion,which option of the ones I found is best? Or do you have any other recommendations ?
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you guys
