Bad day-Hard drive died, now the motherboard died

[petrusbroder]

Checked yesterday:
In my limited experience: two different ASUS P55-mobos: polarity does not matter, Gigabyte mobos: polarity does matter.

OK, its back up now. Just needed a new motherboard. But its only 4100 mhz with a better motherboard ??? And still a little flaky. And $115 later...

What was the old mbrd?
What speed was it before?

Last year I had a power supply die, take out my MB, RAM, CPU, video card, cooling fan, and 2 hard drives. I had an older MB and CPU, son sent me a video card, and I had a couple of spare hard drives. I had never had such a system wide failure before. 🙁

I now make sure to back up everything to an external HD since that incident wiped out my primary HD and the backup. :O

OLd motherboard was MA-770T-UD3P (I think)

New is 890 UD4. Down to 3800 now... was rebooting at 4100 and then at 4000

🙁 I think my mobo is going out. I haev been having issues where the machine would just stutter and crawl, even if it was just brosing (no crunching). WTF? So I figured it was a hard drive dying, but the hard drives are clean. Then tested RAM. Weird stuff starts happening. Tested RAM individually, stick by stick, and each is fine. So looks like the memory controller on the mobo is dying. Meh. Time to RMA.

Maybe the VID compared to actual vcore voltages diffences are different for this mbrd??
