Hi. I have the ASUS M5A97 R2.0.
I have issues with the SATA speed after 3 subsequent quick power outages. The SATA speed goes down to 1.5 from 6 Gb/sec. New disks and cables. Replaced cables. Same problem. Otherwise the motherboard works flawlessly (linux CENTOS 8). I bought two identical replacement boards which both do not start. The green light on the board goes on, but that's it, nothing else! All disks and fans are off. I replaced back an forth, but only the original board will start the fans and disks, also after I tested both replacement boards twice without success. I am sure I connected both replacement boards correctly. What am I missing? Or can it be that both replacement boards are defect?? Must be very unlikely.... what else can I do?
Any comment is appreciated.
