Just some of what I read about it. I was gonna buy it till I found out it's PCIe is limited to 4x.

What's the problem with it?

I did a review of the board here:

I was extremely impressed with this board and while there is some performance lost due to "only" a PCI-E 4x it's not really a deal breaker.

What sort of problems are you having?

Well after i put the system together and double checked all the connections and everything. When I attempt to boot up I get no video, power buttons dont work, nothing. The only thing that works are the chasis fan and cpu Fan. I also see the vid card powered up but as i said i get no video, and power buttons are not working. Also doesnt sound like harddrive is working and booting. Im running 1 gig of DDR2 ram, Radeon x1900 GT, and the E6600 Duo 2 Core.

Do you know for sure that your power supply works good? Have you tested it in another system?

I tested the power supply on my previous system which ran off of a P4 3.2 HT and it ran fine with no prob.

Sounds like the board might need to be RMA'd I'm afraid.
Here is a LINK with some more suggestions.

And Google is alway's a good thing.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I just got in from work, it's 3 am and me eyes R crossed.

Just found out that the ASRock i got was DOA. Im currently looking for suggestions on another well priced but high performance mobo if even such a thing exists. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
