Cant install OS on DFI RD580

EDIT: Neverthless this m/b is going for RMA.


Why so?? It seems to be working fine… why RMA it ??

It would be a mega headache sending it to the US and all…

The above are fresh pics of a fresh install on the 2.5" hdd (lower right side of image)
@ Nikhil,
if you or any other member desires to get this m/b i can offer you very cheap …just 10K.
(estimated mkt price here should be near about 15K)
i will take liberty of finalising it without darky’s consent since i know he would not mind …:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: and even if he does, i can patao him …:wink:

neverthless it is certainly going for RMA…

edit: as you guys can see in the pics above …
a) The m/b is darky’s
b) The gfx card (7300 GS rev A.4) is of bikey
c)The ram belongs to Chaos (on temporary exchange basis)
d) The HDD was gifted to me ( a laptop rather) by a very senior comapq engineer about 6 yrs back as a token of his /their appreciation … I had pointed out a major design flaw in their laptop m/b’s …

A Fine example of National Integration and Co-operation.

Just curious DJ…but why RMA?? Is there anything still wrong with it ??

and what was wrong with the mobo?? What did you do to install it ?? Just to satisfy my curiosity.

can someone delete this

@ Nikhil,
Darky will be in a better position to answer ur queries…in a nutshell all i can say is that this m/b was released without much beta testing / debugging. it seems dfi and other co’s had some deadline to release it.
it would cost him (Darky) less in RMA’ing this to usa then if he were to to do it locally …and hopefully quicker too.:wink:

btw it is still running since my last post in this thread …its a shame i cannot run prime on it since the bracket of the cpu heatsink is “misplaced” by my younger one ..the h/s is just sitting on the cpu. it is not fixed to the plastic cpu socket by the bracket.
this shows i can risk my beloved 3000+ beauty just to fulfill my curosity and “failure analysis”…

now i will pack it up and do the needful for RMA …(before i receive the dreaded phonecall from darky)

@ darky,
RMA Successful.
Newegg credited my a/c with the full original cost on 20 /7.
ps: check ur gmail for details.
