Oops....

Well this morning my pc wasn't turning on. Well actually it would, but would freeze in bios for ETERNITY. After about 4-5 minutes it would post beep, but nothing would happen. Then I "intelligently" went to reset cmos. I kinda forgot you need to disconnect power and connections. It started on right after I shorted it. I didn't think any of this at the time. The same thing still happened... so I did it about 6 more times. Needless to say, I might need a new motherboard. Should I RMA since it wasn't working in the first place?

If warranty covers it RMA it obviously

[megadarkwood]

I dont think that the warranty will cover that

[Samdb]

The warranty won't cover any damage you caused.

I'm not sure 'you' did anythign that would break anything. Unplug it, hit the power switch, reset the CMOS, ???, profits? I've had a similar problem and a wire was shorting to ground. Motherboard was fine.

How can you short it by just doing that, and if you rma'd it how can they check that you had shorted it

[pummetje]

just rma it you never know maybe you get a new motherboard

i killed a amd processor by overclocking just rma it and got a new one 

its worth to rma it
