    I am building a computer, with an asus p6t motherboard. It came DOA. Does anyone else have problems with Asus? I am switching to eVGA

    This is the guy who I'm helping build his computer. And by helping I mean telling him what to do. In other words, he does the menial labor.

    Okay, this is confusing. I think ASUS is bad and EVGA is good, and you think EVGA is bad and ASUS is good. Neither of us have had trouble with the board we support. ???

    yup, why not replace it? i once had a product that came in as D.O.A, but it was the fault of the courier, not the company that made it... so, i dont blame the company or the factory. i blame the damn courier...

    DOA boards happen, and they don't reflect badly upon the manufacturer (unless theres a ridiculously high rate of them). What reflects badly on the manufacturer is boards that fail after being used for a while.

    sadly i have never built a computer... i got my bro-in-law to build me the one i'm using now.... he used spare parts he had around, which led to a crap processor and virtually no ram.. but it works

    I just got an ASUS motherboard that I thought was DOA. It turned out to have a dead battery and I had to boot it without any hardware, other than video attached to get it into the BIOS setup.

    I never even got a system beep on powerup.

    Thought this might be useful information.

    I have also gotten two ASUS motherboards that needed BIOS updates to work with some hardware.
