My quad-core/motherboard combo refuses to boot. The RAM has been tested with Prime95 for 18+ hours with no errors. We sent it back to Tiger Direct, thinking it was bad, but they sent it back, saying it wasn't. My dad sent the following synopsis to me to send on to you.
installed board/memory/new PS(500-watt). computer tries to boot, hard drive is accessed, but then it dies. The led display codes scroll through and end most of the time with a code 75. Edit: Sometimes LED code ends in 7F.
I wish I could work on the problem myself, but my dad is the only one I know with any of the knowledge I need in meatspace, and refuses to play the teacher. Ironically, he complains each time that this is the "last time" he is going to help me, when I've made it very clear that I wanted to learn from him.
The motherboard is XFX nForce 680i SLI motherboard.
Any help, or attempt at help, is appreciated. If, by chance, it is officially decided that the motherboard is bad and I can't convince Tiger Direct to take it back, I'm willing to go after another motherboard(obviously not from Tiger Direct) to try to get a working computer.
