Well, I was mistaken again! No chip was missing after all (thank God!) The pictures on the spec sheet and manual show that is just a blank spot that is unused. Turns out it was my power supply all along! Everything metered good on it, but a different PSU (for which I had to take it to a computer shop) worked fine. The guy there said there is some logic or detection on the 8-pin EPS connector, and that the PSU wasn't responding right. So I've got a new Corsair HX1200 on the way from Newegg to replace the no-name "TechNPS" branded bad PSU. I guess it's actually impressive that an unknown PSU lasted seven years at all. Silver lining: I guess it will be nice to upgrade to a fully modular PSU.
