[985323]

i got a brand new evga 780i mobo, it worked for a bout 7 hours then when i went to put in a new hard drive it wouldnt turn on gave me a post code of 20 i restarted it and it gave me a post code of AO, anybody help. does not get to bios, monitor reads no signal

[BerticusPryme]

hmm i would strip it down to one stick of ram and basics. if that doesnt work give tech support a call

It could just be the break-in phase. Electronics either break within a few hours or a few years.

Have you tried resetting the bios yet? Try something like speedfan to get the temps.

He's right. Just pull out the CMOS pin and put it into the other position, then put it back. It should reset the BIOS configuration. If not, then it sounds like you have either a RAM problem or a power supply cable issue. Everything plugged in, including the little 12 volt 4-pin piece?
