Dude........ face palm.

 

plug everything in. cpu power too.

[Najila42]

if this is solved by plugging the board in I swear..... well.... at least we may have found this guy's solution.... While you're at it, if it still has an error can you record the beeping code for us?

Well the previous beep code was accurate to the AMI bios equipped on Gigabyte boards. x6 beeps

Wonder if that will change?? 

 

Yea cpu power. Thats pretty important. Some peripherals may not turn on without it.

Seems like anything's game at this point. We may even encounter a completely different issue.

If i run it without heatsinks is only for a couple of seconds im fully aware that for longer times it dangerous.  But as long as its just to see if the logo comes up then ill buy them

Have you tried this without the PS2 port populated?

 

At least just set heat sink on the cpus with a small dab of paste.

Then just set the heat sinks no paste.

It works too?  I mean yeah it works but it does have temperature differences right?

Done

[Najila42]

while not perfect, it will help immensely. Just place a heatsink on the cpu and unplug the ps2 keyboard (or plug one in if you havent had one plugged) and see if it works.

Done

Same exact result

[Najila42]

well, looks like you've a chip to replace.

Seems so

Ill also need to buy a heat gun.  Its impossible to desolder it with a iron

Oooh another question.  Does this use a cpu atx8 pin or a gpu one?

what connector are you looking at? can you send an image? Where is it on the board?
