1 a Gigabyte GA-E350N motherboard with an AMD E-350 APU 2 G.Skill Value Series 4GB DDR3 SRAM memory cards 1 Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA hard drive 1 iStartUSA case with a 200 watt power supply After initial very light use the system failed to start - the cpu cooling fan quivered when power switched on, otherwise nothing. Returned the motherboard/cpu to Gigabyte where it was inspected and returned without comment. Upon return the system started with the case open, failed to start with the case closed. This happened a second time and then the system failed to start with case open. After CMOS reset the system started again. Gigabyte tech support thinks there is a ground fault. (The case is very crowded.) With Wheezy running as described above I ran two passes of memtester - all checks reported OK, program returned 0.
