TheyCallMeGunny Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Just post your number, and if you want also include how long or how many total purchases you've made. You can also include specifics such as component type and brand. I figured this could be both "random fun" and help us share an idea of which brands are most and least trustworthy to survive shipping. So, how many DOAs have you had? (Parts Dead on Arrival) Me: 1 motherboard, by ASRock. Wouldn't POST at all. Replaced with an extra $100 worth of ASUS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I'm buying new hardware all the time, so total number of orders is unknown for me. As for DOAs, I've had three. 1 Abit AM2 board back when they used to still exist. Don't even remember what the problem was anymore. 1 Rosewill PSU that exploded when I turned it on. 1 ASUS P55 board. The board would boot loop, so I RMAd it. The replacement I got wouldn't detect HDDs on the non native ports, so I RMAd it. The third one was so badly warped it was ridiculous. However, it worked so I used it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Surprisingly I have never had an item arrive DOA, I have had a few things crap out a few days later though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I'm struggling to recall any of mine...I know I got some bad RAM back in the day when I built my AthlonXP rig - it was slightly unstable at all speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 No DOA's here, but I've only built one computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmineral Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I don't think I've ever had a DOA, if I have, it was probably something so small it wasn't even worth paying the shipping to send in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseMan42 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Luckily I've only had one, a Palit GTX460. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I agree with Bosco to many to remember and most while I was out of town so no immediate return or even rma'ed just trashed most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

90sgamer Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 2 Hard Drives - Seagate 1 Motherboard - ASUS Rampage II Gene The two hard drives were bought the same week in 2004. Ever since, I've used WD and haven't looked back. The Rampage II wouldn't post and the replacement P6T had its issues too, but my current Rampage III Formula works like a charm!
