Consider checking if your BIOS is current and ensure all components are compatible.
It shouldn't happen at all! I was hoping to share the evidence. I really think he's genuinely sorry and is ready to assist.
<removed content> I mean, it sounded like he was already waiting on it arriving at his house so the worst part about his reaction - for me - is that like silly people he thinks its other peoples fault that he ordered something, that HE cant install. Did you break something? Put it in wrong? Buy it used and get ripped off and blame us? Bust your own mobo socket? I mean, it works. This is what we call an "OE" or Operator Error - that is if the hardware just isn't broke which could be the case because Im sure you didn't buy this new. And if its broke, we didn't do it (you or the seller did). Per the normal ambience of the forum I agree - we can help him if only he helps himself first.
