What I am saying is that some sellers guarantee against DoA. Some guarantee it will work for a certain amount of time. Most sellers say it is "as-is," and if it is DoA, you are SoL.
TLAs FTW! Wait, what do you mean the board will run without a battery in it? It will POST that way?

nate, do you have another PSU to try with this board? As thlnk3r has reported, these DFI LANParty motherboards are quite sensitive to their PSU's output. Perhaps you have a buddy locally who can let you test with his PSU, if only to eliminate it from the troubleshooting equation.
Please let us know the status of the situation! Your brothers and sister are keen to know.

I don't know, it doesn't make sense that it would be able to find the processor and not the RAM if it's a PSU issue...

nate, these DFIs are extremely finicky. thlnk3r has already found out with his LANParty UT nF4 SLI-DR that, even with a Seasonic (albeit one that is a little older), it will not POST.
This is like that snobby girl you couldn't take your eyes off of in high school. She's rich, she's pretty, you'd like to take her out, but since you don't look like you're in her league, she doesn't play nice with you until you start showing and giving her great stuff.  It's very likely, actually, your PSU is up to scratch. After all, G.O. runs with one of those (I have one, too, and it's been great), but your specific PSU may not be as healthy as it used to be. I made my suggestion to try another PSU just to rule out the possibility that it is a PSU-related problem. Keep at it! And good luck.

do you think I would be able to test the PSU itself? Like sticking a multitester into different leads again, see if all of the voltages are where they should be?
I don't know if my multitester can test current (amps) or power (watts) and even if it does, I don't know how to use it under those settings. I have a yellow Radioshack one if any of you guys have one and can walk me through it. I'm going out for a few hours though, so I'll respond later today

Worth a try.
I would suggest PMing thlnk3r on how to use one of those; I don't even own one.  But he has one, and knows how to use it.Good luck, man!

http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/guide...ing-guide.html I'd recommend also testing the voltages while the system is on full load. Hope that helps. Be careful
