Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hi guys,
I got the replacement cpu today and I am back online! That was the problem. Everything works great now and i removed the ASUS AI Suite and am keeping the turbo off for now.
This is the first CPU I've ever had die on me.
Thanks again!
Thank you, Cisco. Since i should have a new chip Monday, I'll try that. If not, then I'll do the RMA on the board. I don't have a magnifying glass but I will go pick one up at Frys today. I did examine the pins, I guess I just wasn't specific enough in the post. Anyway, I do appreciate all...
WOw.. OK so I did try a PSU from work and still the same thing happens. THe PSU i have right now is a Antec EA-650. Not that it matters much, but i have a i7-2600k, not an i5-2500k.
I do appreciate the help guys. I did an RMA on the cpu and should get a new one Monday from them. If that...
Hmm OK I'll have to see if I can fork out that much cash.. I am also grabbing an extra pci-e gfx card from work and will try that, just to rule that out as well.
OK so I am stopping by Fry's on my way home. The following three PSU's are available at my local store. Which one would you get?

You really think the PSu is the most likely problem? I have a 650 watt right now, and I do want to get a 850-1000w anyways because I want to get a second 6950 at some point.. Maybe I will go buy one today...
Hi cisco,
I tried doing exactly as you say but still get a hard freeze. I removed the HS and checked the processor. It looks normal. I'll try to find a PSU to test, but I am also starting the RMA process with ASUS.
Thanks for your help.
So you are saying I should move the jumper to the reset position (after unplugging everything), and then also remove the cmos battery for 30 minutes or more?
I mean, the only thing that changed was me changing settings in the AI suite. I feel like that was the cause, but if clearing the bios doesn't work then I probably did damage to something..
No just a green light down near where the cmos reset pin is. I don't have another gfx card but I'll see if I can find a PSU to try.. Just seems like odd timing that the psu would die right at the moment I diecided to reboot. I still think it was the damn AI Suite.. I just hope it didn't fry...
