Update: Called ASUS motherboard support this morning, spoke to a really nice dude. Explained my situation and he told me the person who sent me the email with the RMA information included the wrong address. He said he would call me back, but 12 hours later I hadn't received a phone call or email, so I called back and spoke to the supervisor. He informed me that he might be able to have the board swapped out in Fremont, CA (rather than the correct facility in IN), so I'm hoping that's the case. I've been without my system for 3 weeks now (I did my own testing for about 3-4 days before narrowing down what the problem was), and this has been a huge hassle and there's nothing I did wrong in this whole process. It has been very frustrating. I've RMA'd two different motherboards in the past to ASUS and have never had any issues so this is definitely a first time for me. I also want to say that compared to other Support Lines for other companies (MSI, Ebay, Paypal, Seagate, etc..), ASUS hardware support is AWESOME!
Totally cool people and you can understand what they're saying which is excellent! I hate when companies outsource their tech support to other countries and you want to throw your phone through a window because it's so frustrating when you aren't getting anywhere with the person
I just want my system back up and running, this sucks
