There is a 8 digit code written on invoice aside the CPU, is that it?
And thanks for finding my system, I wish I posted a pic of the Procy though.

Just check that the serial on the box matches the cpu they give you.

Why are you worrying so much, its been 4 days right? Just wait it out, manju(megamind) got a credit note of 7.5k for the P5Q I sold to him for 3.5k from rashi, and he got his sandy bridge, only rashi gives credit notes, no other mobo distri does that afaik, just wait it out, every electronic component can fail.

Its not about days, I am so much worried how they are acting in this matter, I haven't heard or seen that a service centre asks for a CPU and Heatsink for testing a Motherboard of a brand of which they are servicing.
Anyway, everything happens for a good reason, just let them give a new board, then I'll not do anything stupid again by buying a brand called ASUS and to face worlds most stupidest service center aka Rashi Peripherals. I have had enough lesson.
Regards.

First of all don't compare Chennai Rashi with Kolkata Rashi.Rashi in kolkata is not good enough.I have rma my 8600GT earlier and their service suxx big time.I have gone 18times to chandni for the 8600gt to be replaced.Every time they gave me faulty one.So i fed up with them and sold the card@ only 1.2k rs to some Chicken(murga)
Ask cilus about the experience with RASHI,KOLKATA He has also the same experience.

They alway hassle with cards, specially since xfx stopped making nvidia cards, that sabertooth is a brand new board, they won't hassle much with it, plus asus has official presence in india, people can write or contact them, xfx not so.

Well just that happened what I guessed. Went today with the Heatsink to them, they tested in front of me. There was no problem whatsoever. Booted well. Waited half an hour to recheck, booted well again. Came home, plugged everything, the problem REMAINS. I just changed the PCI Ex slot and placed the 560 on the 2nd slot, don't know why, and unbelievably it booted! Whatever going on, this board is OK or not, I am getting rid of it. Soon you will find it in Bazaar section.

Some comments about technicians of Rashi below,

They asked me what RAM I was using. I replied, it's Corsair C9 XMS3. They replied, Cross-air (!), hmm, not a bad one. You should use ZION for better performance.
I said OK.
Then they asked, what PSU I am using? I replied Corsair 650TX. They replied, Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus is the Best out there. In fact they were testing with one of that.
I said OK, again.
They asked what GPU I am using? I said, ASUS GTX 560. They replied, bah, ASUS, great. 'Ota ekta bhalo jinis kinenchen' (Bengali). Means, good, that's a good thing you've purchased at least.
I said OK, for the third time.

I felt absolutely bogus to look at them and talk with. Just took the MoBo and got out of there.

Thanks you very much ASUS and my beloved service center Rashi Peripherals, I will NEVER see them again, (unless my 560 don't get the damn out of me) as in future I will NEVER buy an ASUS again, that's an oath.
Regards.

At least you have a choice, we have none, gigabyte went crazy with Z68 lineup and msi doesn't come until another 3 months or so , my vpro is fine though

PS: Put another card on the first slot and test it, also when it booted in the service center what card did they use?

Well turned OFF the system at 1630, just turned ON now, the problem is there. There is nothing to do with the GPU, it's now working on the first slot too. The main bogus thing is the problem is only there if I turn it off for long, more than one hour or so. If I turn it off and back on within 15mins or half an hour there is no problem. Weird as hell.

Just for kicks, change the smps.

When booting, the system needs a power ok signal from smps, faulty smps can cause this, yours sounds like a such, do you have a smps nearby? A friend maybe? Even cooler master 600w will do, just boot it up and see. IF the mobo booted fine in the service center it should boot ok in your home too.


The basic concept is during booting the system(BIOS) waits to receive an ok signal from all devices it initializes, if any devices fails to do so, it will hang sometimes(instead of beeping), test the HDD and GFX card as well individually.

I don't know if I can borrow a PSU from someone or not. I have uploaded the video regarding the problem, I noticed one thing, when it boots OK the CPU LED blinks thrice (1+2), then the DRAM_LED>VGA_LED and Boot LED. But when the problem is happening the CPU_LED blinks only once and then DRAM_LED just stuck there. Also I restarted the system and the PC booted well this time, which hasn't happened before. See by yourself, this Video is my only proof to show,

Uploading....

is the BIOS updated to the latest version?

Yea, it's 1006. I didn't even know there was an update available before the problem.
BTW- Is there any way to check if my PSU is working fully fine?

 

[tkin]

I think its the GPU, the Led blinking means successful device post, when the devices post the led blinks, so CPU LED blink = successful CPU post, same with ram but its gets stuck as it does not get the post success code from gpu and so the LED does not light up, and it hangs there, swap the GPU with another one and test.

Check the card as I had said above, and no, to check the smps for load you need special load testing equipment(not a multi meter), so better get another psu and test.

Well mate, I am confused. How will I test with another GPU? I really have no idea. This damn board doesn't even have any in built VGA that I can test...

Don't you have any friends with a graphic card? ANY graphic card? If not I don't know man. Sorry.

Yes, I have every friend with a Graphic card but man I really can't ask for it...

Why not? I asked my friends for stuff, I debugged a lot of their pcs with my hardware and vice versa.

Take the card to rashi and ask them to test it for you.

I'll take every equipment to them and ask to test.

Update:
It's really unbelievable what problem I had.
