Good morning bump :) *EDIT* Board/memory pending. Didnt want to part it out but got a great offer. WIll lock thread as soon as the deal is sealed (should be a couple hours)

Heat http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=34876 Contact email davebirt @ gmail .com PM me here or Email me. The Gmail goes straight to my phone so I will see it pretty quickly. I went through another big upgrade cycle so I have my old setup here for sale. Here is the list...

I am making the jump to an SSD, and trying to determine what size I should get. Basically here is what will be on it Win7 64bit WoW Steam --TF2 --CS:S maybe one other game (not sure what yet, probably some military fps type though) Office (the complete suite) Photoshop...

Well the PSU is now powering the secondary PC (the one I am on right now) just fine. I know that isnt a huge load test, but its powering a C2D E7400, my wireless NIC and 2-3 fans just fine. So I can eliminate the PSU from what is preventing the other MOBO from even posting. Not a 100% way...

Im gonna swap it into my secondary PC tonight and see what happens. That will tell me if the PSU is at least functional enough to run a computer.

That is exactly the board I have, and sounds like the exact same problem. I am just going to order either a gigabyte or an ASUS.

It wasnt that it "stopped" like as in was running then died. I shut it down, made a couple changes in the UEFI and it wouldnt come back up. If its a bad PSU a new mobo wont boot either right? I guess Ill stop on the way home today and pick up a PSU and see if it boots. Actually...

Ok let me clarify a couple things, to get a clearer picture out there :) 1. I tried doing nothing but increasing the multiplier to 40. It BSOD'd during the process of loading, before it even got to the desktop. 2. I upped the voltage on the memory to 1.65 because that is what the...

Well tomorrow morning I am gonna head to Frys and pick up a new mobo and come back home to see if that fixes it. Unfortunately although this mobo is brand new, I have had it longer than the 15 day return period so I cant even exchange it. So Ill RMA it then put it up for sale I guess. The...

yeah it powers up just fine. I have one of those jumper connectors, I plugged it in with the PSU hooked to nothing else and it turns on and stays on just fine.

Looks like probably the mobo is shot. :( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1037083785&posted=1#post1037083785 I welcome any input over on that thread.

Any guesses what the hell happened? Would anything that I did in the bios (well, uefi) as far as cpu PLL voltage or DRAM voltage POSSIBLY been able to damage it? I cant see how, but maybe?

Yeah no beeps or anything. Im gonna try unplugging everything and taking the battery out overnight. It really seems like the CMOS just wont reset for some reason.

Well nothing with no CPU. The lights come on for a sec the fan I plugged into the cpu fan header spins up, then everything goes off, and it cycles just like it has been. Put the CPU back in, tried 2 other known good sticks of memory and a different video card, and the stock intell hsf (was...

sorry if I am coming off as super pissed. I sort of am, more just incredibly frustrated and feeling pretty deflated right now. Took a deep breath, popped open a beer and am going to see if the board will post with no CPU...
