    I do not understand this?

    I bought a faulty computer...It has a Gigabyte Motherboard Model Name : GA-H55M-S2H(rev. 1.0)
    --------------------------
    M/B Rev : 1.0
    BIOS Ver : NA
    Serial No. : 100640030273
    Purchase Dealer :
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    VGA Brand : GIGABYTE Model : GV-N95TD3-512H
    CPU Brand : Intel Model : i7 860 Speed : 2.8GHz
    Operation System : Win XP SP : 3
    Memory Brand : Type : DDR
    Memory Size : 2gb Speed :
    Power Supply : 420 W
    ________________________________ SO after initial tests I stripped the PC down and started on a bench test ...Clearly its the motherboard (unless its the CPU but I cannot test it) ... Now my attempts to get the M/B to POST have been futile...the fan goes then after 20-30 seconds the power cuts out and immediately repowers and then cuts out again etc etc....
    So I started trying to get some answers and found nothing EXCEPT a whole lot of other motherboards mainly Gigabyte with the identical problem but still no answers ....
    It just seems ludicrous to me that all these M/B's have the same problem but no one has an answer not even Gigabyte..

    So as a last resort has anybody come across this ...I have been told its a capacitor problem ?? somebody else says no way so I am totally confused...
    Thanks Hk

    TRy it without any ram in and see if it gets as far as the" no ram beep code."

    Then try with just one stick
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

          Seems to me capacitor problems on Gigabyte boards are fairly rare, don't most of them use really good quality caps?

            Yup. Usually, they are Nichicon HM (if they use lytics at all, that is), although they could be KZG.
            I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

            No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards
