So i was playing league of legends today when all of a sudden my comp froze... i thought it was a AMD driver recovery process so i let it sit for just a second. computer was totally unresponsive for the entire event and after 20 seconds i restarted (computer waited to reset upon button press which i thought was weird) only to find a FF post code. was running 100% stock settings and have tried every FF fix/guide/FAQ/tutorial on google to no avail. I bought this board from chew* so im SoL on a warranty from evga.
 
i was wondering if anyone who has had this problem has tried replacing the bios chip themselves. I just ordered one from ebay for the 759 and i am crossing my fingers that it will fix my board. If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to comment.

    Disconnect as many components as possible, attempt to start bare minimum components 1 stick of ram in first slot, make sure all the plugs from your PSU to the board are firmly snapped in place, if you have a deferent PSU, try it, as power can cause the FF, A new BIOS chip is worth a try, and you can find them on e-bay for about $14 including shipping, but I would NOT try that until you have eliminated the PSU,

    tried a antec 500w from my 775 system and still the FF code. Going to try to reseat the cpu again but i really dont see how that could be the issue since it was running fine and suddenly froze and gave FF code on restart.

    If the FF is after a series of post codes it means  Fully functional, if FF is the first thing that appears on the board, it means the board is not processing the post codes.

    I fixed mine by:
     
    1>  Removing the CMOS battery for 15 minutes.  That allowed the board to post.
     
    2>  Looks like I had some BIOS corruption so I reflashed the BIOS with Ver. 82 (on my 760) and reset it to default.  Then I went in and set up the BIOS for memory and CPU.

    Hopefully one of the above incantations will get you going.  If not, visually inspect the rest of the mobo - chips, caps, and power connectors.
     
    My 758 did exactly what you describe.  Hole burned in chip.  I'm not saying that's what happened to you.  Hopefully not...
