Despite the 45m-1h drive each way to microcenter being such a hassle, they at least were good about changing everything out multiple times (and honoring the bundle deals). Took these both back in, got the extremely skeptical looks from microcenter (granted, I'd be looking the same way at someone telling me this story on any other platform), and eventually had them come back and tell us that they had swapped the cpu's into multiple boards and both were toast, as we kind of had concluded at that point. Couldn't get EITHER to post now (when originally one setup posted but just gave sata errors) - one of the ud4 setups did the blink up on fans/lights for a split second, the other would just hang at the Gigabyte splash screen with no input. Tried all the usual swapping around for troubleshooting (easier when you have two very similar setups sitting side by side), psu's, memory, slots, tried the cpu's in each motherboard to see if that made any difference, etc.Įnded up returning both motherboards thinking that was the issue, picked up gigabyte ud4's. The other started for all of 10m, crashed out and then gave the 1/2 second twitch with fans and led on power up.
#Cpu led on windows#
One glitched all over the place with the sata ports, having a 1/5 chance of booting into windows without hd related errors, and even when it did boot in, it wasn't smooth sailing. Both picked up 2600k's with asus p67 boards. I and a friend both went through a shockingly similar situation in our recent sandy bridge builds, both from microcenter. Asus has been a very good company and I'd hate to see them start going downward.
But now I'm going to have to rethink that for future purchases. I've had 2 previous systems running Asus mobos in the past 3 years and they have been solid and reliable. I will do some stress testing tonight as well as trying to get up to 4.2Ghz and hopefully whatever the cause of the failures were was just because of poor Asus quality. So far been running the GD65 for a few hours and have not had any issues (knock on wood). I didn't even want to risk a possible 4th trip (40 mile drive each way).
#Cpu led on pro#
I was too pissed off to try another P8P67 Pro and without knowing what the cause of the failures were. Only this time I got the MSI GD65 instead. So now my 3rd time back to Microcenter to replace the mobo and cpu. CLR RTC and remove battery with no success. Within the first 10mins of using it, it shuts down unexpectedly again. I turn it off to run out to do some errands. Stock turbo mode and no stress testing, just watching a movie. Get into windows used it for 2 hrs, all running at stock settings. Put the cpu into the mobo, first boot, success. CLR RTC and removing the battery did nothing. Nothing on the display and it would go into an infinite boot up loop. Put the cpu in the replacement mobo and this time, the fans and everything would come on, but the cpu led is on solid red this time. So I took the mobo back to Microcenter for replacement. Used only a single stick of ram and putting it in each slot to try and powerup and got nothing. Pulling the cord from the outlet and then plugging it back in and pushing power, the fans twitched and the cpu led would blink once for a split second and then nothing. so I thought.ģ days later, just running 3Dmark vantage at 4.1Ghz with 1.19V, the computer shuts off unexpectedly in the middle of it.
I bought the 2500K and P8P67 Pro bundle deal from Microcenter a week ago.
