GA-X58A-UD3R problem with GV-N480D5-15I-B

No to be honest I didn't notice it. I will check again.

Much better when you can see it without straining your eyes. Bloody clever these Russians

Still looks fine to me. Can't see any bent ones.

Finally, my system is dead again  

Every time I installed something - updates, drivers - there was a problem, HDD behaved strange (clicks, whistling), and, after reboot there was either driver problem or CHKDSK recovery runned with many errors found. Sometimes it rebooted normally, but there was clicking from HDD from time to time (single clicks - data link loss?). So it looks for me the F13m BIOS makes sense on my HDD behaviour, at least, this time everything went a bit further then usually. I managed to install all drivers (some from the second attempt), some test programs, I`ve tested my CPU with LinX (GUI Intel Linpack stress test version), Prime95x64 with no errors and at a good speed. So it looks the CPU and RAM are Ok. Then I scheduled CHKDSK for my HDD and rebooted, nothing happened, OS booted without checking anything. Rebooted again and`ve got this Stop 0x00000050 BSOD PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. As I know, this stop happens in many many different situations, related I/O operations.

So I`m about to stop testing and leave this board alone, at least until I`ll have some information from service about my GA-X58A-UD3R board with the same issue.

Fair enough Viccctor, I think you have gone above and beyond the call of duty, mate. It can be a killer trying all these things one after another but there are no short cuts. You just hope that you find the problem earlier rather than later.
Please keep in touch though and let us know what happens when your board copme back.

Hello again 

Recently I`ve got the answer from my local shop about my GA-X58A-UD3R board. They told me the official service center accepted this board as faulty, so I have my money back now. They also told me that my board was the first with this strange failure, but after they had 6 boards of this model returned with "even more weird" issues. After all everything looks like some strange motherboard power unit problem. This time I decided to go back to ASUS products, though they also have their own bugs.

Hi Viccctor, Thanks for the update and sorry to hear that you are going back to Asus but I can't blame you after all these problems with this board. Good luck.
