Re:One rig down! 2010/11/11 17:17:27 (permalink)
Just remembered (long shot) that when I was researching FFs when my 780i gave up the ghost were occurring when the BIOS chip became dislodged in shipping.  Highly unlikely in your case, but the solution was to press down hard on the BIOS chip to set it in place.
EVGA even suggests it so why not!

Yeah I've already checked that too.  I'm hooking up my OS drive and dvd drive to see if I can get that to work.

So much to seriously challenge you to a race to 3mill.
I hate your 750i.

Thats still possible.  I'll just through my 460 in with my 450 if I can't get this to post.

Everything else including putting in a Windows disc? I'm telling you, this was, or nearly was the same thing I had this summer.

 
Well I was thinking also how am I too get this to boot the cd if it won't post?
 
That didn't work either so I'll be checking the marketplace to see what quad core 775's are out there.

I'd like to give thanks to all you that helped me out.  After all the testing I/we pretty much figured out the mobo is dead.   
 
Again thank you!

GND 1  5 +12V =11.87 
GND 2  6 +12V =11.88
GND 3  7 +12V =11.87
GND 4  8 +12V =11.88


 
Those voltages look okay. It may be a board issue. There is a b-stock 750i board via the site here for $50.

Yeah I had already checked the b-stock and seen that 750i.  I rather save my bucks for another gpu for folding!
 
I'm looking at two boards now in the marketplace which is a tad bit more but well worth it.  We will see what happens. 
 
I also emailed Chris B to see if at all possible to send in the mobo to find the root cause of the problem and I stated that I would pay any and all costs if it is fixable. 
 
I rechecked again this morning and still can not find any physical signs of damage ANYWHERE!
 
 
Thanks for all you suggestions and thoughts.  I'll get this thread updated as time goes on as to the status of the outcome either way.
 
Thanks again!

Yeah I know that they won't just hoping I guess.  I'm looking at two mobo's now.   ASUS 750i and EVGA 780i FTW for around the same price of each other.  So we will see by the end of today what I decide.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing in that pic?  Are you saying your CPU is fried?

This is what he is pointing out. Not sure if it's gunk or white from a flash due to shorting.

The socket looks good from what I can tell.  Unless you see something I don't?

I've had that white flash on a CPU as well.  CPU was still good - I think it's just residue from something that got on there when it was installed and just baked.
If it shorted, you would have black streaks rather than white.
 
With CPU out of the mobo, do you get a red LED when you try to power up?  You should.  Just a little more hope that the CPU is good yet.

Baking the mobo didn't work either.  So till I can test it on another mobo I'm going to stop here for now.
