System was running along fine, left to have a bite to eat after having no prior proplems for over a couple of weeks and came back to black screen. Rebooted and heard "failed due to CPU overclocking". Rebooted to initiate Crash Proof Bios stuff with no change. Anyone have similar problems and what happened? I sent board back on RMA.:frown:
 
What exactly where you doing when your MB quit?
We need a more complete description of happened.
It is possible that you had a bad MB that just took 3 weeks to fail.
 
My wife and I were playings some games while listening to music via Microsoft's Media player. We stopped to have dinner. Came back to a black screen. Couldn't reboot. Got posting message that system failed due to overclocking. Was running at 10%. System is Raid 0, 1G Corvair Twin XMS1024XL pair. 3.2E processor, ATI9700 AGP, DVD, CD, floppy. 2.2.2.5 on memory. Cleared the CMOS with no boot possible. System ran fine for just a little over two weeks. This is about the 6th I've built with Asus stuff, but first that I've had problems with, so not much experience with resolving failure issues.
 
I have had two Asus boards go bad on me, one in less than a month, the other has a bad IDE controller.

Is your CPU 775 or 478? Why are you certain it is the MB?

I am beginning to wonder if Asus hasn't slipped abit on the 478 side. Speculation, of course.
Most people have had good experience with Asus.

You probably got a bad board.
 
I have a 478, and am not certain that it is the MB, but haven't a way to test CPU or memory. I've had six Asus boards, not all for my use. I built some machnines for others, but as mentioned, never had anything to wrong.

When talking to the Asus tech he was kind of quick to say I'll give you an RMA.

Machine seemed to be functioning exclusive of 'no post'.
