So.....I woke up, brushed my teeth, showered, ate breakfast, and I sat down to my usual off day ritual of craigslist, anandtech, research. All was going well until my computer froze. Intially, I wasn't concerned. After a full day of troubleshooting, now I know the truth, my trusty mobo is dead. I have all the other hardware in another board, in the same case, so I know for a fact that the motherboard is the problem.
I changed the cmos battery, cleaned every inch of the board, reset memory, ran each stick by itself, reseated the board, tried a different psu, tried to reset cmos, northbridge intact (not cracked), sb intact, etc,etc, etc. I don't see any damage to the board, mosfets intact, traces intact, caps all good. What could have happened?
99% of the time I can find what the problem is, and this time I cannot and that bugs me. Any ideas?
I did request an RMA from Asus today, so hopefully the board gets replaced. On the bright side, the Crosshair V is out.....or maybe I will jump ship back to Intel (last intel was a p3 866, I think)
