I've ran memtest with no errors, replaced the board, run the power supply's self test successfully, and even have a new cpu. Anyone have any idea what could be the cause?
Hi, he means to take out motherboard out of your pc case and put it on a box and then try booting and saving bios settings. To check if there is a short circuit, for example an extra standoff in pc case or standoff in a wrong hole.
That's exactly what I was talking about. @Zerophase It's safe to run the board without an heatsink on the PCH because it doesen't get that hot and what you'll do is just save BIOS settings and than get out. Did you try to save and exit on the bare minimum components?
I dont know which pc caese you have but you could have a look at the back of motherboard tray and count standoffs and note their placement and check if it matches the holes on motherboard .I know that you wouldnt like to refill the loop as its a major pita ,Rampage has two bioses, does it happen with both ?
I updated the bios once I finished installing the board. I'll try clearing cmos. Maybe, some of the old bios settings are still left over.
Yeah, switching to the second bios would be a good way of checking. I didn't update that bios, if it still works I'm most likely not experiencing a short.
