Question Nforce 680i post dilema

Hey everyone,

recently I have been having some POST problems with my motherboard. Instead of get the normal POST readings on the MOBO, sometimes my board reads 75 instead of the regular FF.

What do you guys think could be the problem?

thx for the link. But you know what the problem was? since I first bought this Ultra Gladiator case I have always had a problem with the position in which the mobo sits on the board.

After taking my entire pc apart and cleaning out the dust and positioning the mobo back into the case, I found out that at a certain position where the mobo touches the case is what causes the mobo to read 75 on the POST. because when i moved the mobo at an angle in the case in which I have it now the pc runs fine with no problems.

who knew.
