I suspect the psu (in details) went but I have no replacement on hand damnit. Was going to get a new psu soon but now I am stuck out in the boonies with a dead rig. There goes 60k ppd...

Confirmed bad psu. Damn near as hard to troubleshoot as bad ram. Gonna do a complete new OS install on SSD, should be folding in a few days again.

So the q9450 seems ok........the bios just wants to be adjusted every reboot so far.

I hope it's all good , cause I think I can borg this box.

That means moar production !

Did you try a new mobo battery?

[BrainEater]

Nope , but good call....it's on my list .

I'll be going over it right away.

AW hell.

Looks like my maximus formula is toast.

The 'clear cmos' button on the back is broken , and in true asus fashion it's not just a 2 wire switch.....it's a dpdt 6 wire , and the board wont even power up without some sort of ******* connection through that switch.

There's nothing left of the switch to test out either , it's in 8 pieces.

ffs !

just found this thread, only ever had one folding casualty, Was SMP folding on my old ASUS commando/q9400 rig and it black screened and froze, turned out to be dead PSU(apevia 550),and took my RAM out to(2X2GB g.skill pi series 1066)

My Cooler Master SilentPro M 1000w just went tits up last night... hopefully it didn't take anything else with it!

Off to MemEx I go for a Corsair 1200w today.

R.I.P.

Rampage IV Extreme.

It's toast......not sure exactly what the problem is , I think the PCH is fried.Worse , it's got some minor damage , so It might not be covered under warrantee.
