If you are getting FF, then that pretty much guarantees that it's the GPU. My motherboard says FF under normal operation, and also has indicator LEDs next to each critical part (CPU, Hard Drives, Chipset, and RAM). If you have such LEDs, look at those and if they are all working, then your GPU is fried.

No idea to be honest, when I turn it on I see a few red lights and a few purple lights in the case. I hope it is GPU, as its getting replaced if it is.

Just hope they send replacement before Christmas, if its after then me coming home has been pointless, a side from seeing family Christmas is work work work time :(

Welp, rush delivery works. I live about three quarters of an England away from the nearest Newegg stockhouse, and it takes two days for me to receive items. Where's this Ebuyer located?

I sent it to like DN post code, possibly Doncaster, so like, middle of England. I sent it next day delivery recorded, bloody royal mail charged me £21 :(.

Ebuyer has a great history of deliveries, people have ordered things like 7:30pm, and got it 11am next day.

Then you should be good for Christmas! :)

Ah so your where i got the video card in the post from then:realsmug:

So it's either CPU or mobo. Literally every other part has been verified to work (unless all 4 of my RAM sticks are all dead).

I'm tempted to pull a bait and switch with Best Buy... they carry my motherboard and CPU and have a pretty loose return policy from what I understand.

Thoughts?

I'm looking for a new gaming mouse; the G9 looks to be out of my price range unless it has some super-useful features, and the G7 doesn't seem to be stocked in my retailers, so I'm looking at the MX518. Does anyone here have experience with this mouse or the G9?

I'd be using it quite a lot and from the smooth design of it, it looks like my fingers might slip off the MX518's buttons (I love the curved-up edges of my current Krait). There's also a concern that I'd accidentally press the side function buttons accidentally. Have any of you MX518 owners experienced either of these?

The MX518 is still the best mouse you can get so go for it. The side buttons own and are good binds for vent or what have you.
