G'day Guys,
Specs below. My beauti has been running for just over a year. One morning I get this failure. I'm guessing it is something to do with the CPU because of the cpu_led but I'd like an opinion on it. CPU, or CPU fan. The board led's sparkle as follows:
At rest:
s4/s5 = red
Pressing power button I get 5 sec cycles of the following:
S4/s5 remains on
s3 for a split sec lights yellow
md1 = green and md2 = yellow for a split sec
cpu_led = blue and stays until s0 below
dimm_led = blue for a split sec
gd1 = green and gd2 = yellow and stays until s0 below
phase led dd1 = green and stays until s0 below
holds for 1/2 sec
s0 for a split sec lights yellow. Then all off.
No other blue leds light up. No audible beeps nor any activity on the monitor.
Two notes (in case it means something):
- It is possible that the successful boot I updated the Graphic drivers (GTX470). Warm reboot was successful.
- It is possible the last known operational state was left to hibernate. I just starting to let the beauti hibernate.
Things I've done/tried:
- Isolated all from the mobo bar CPU/fan, case fans, mem and PSU (and front case connectors).
- Have installed a cheap PCI bus powered graphics card.
- Have tested and swapped PSU.
- Reset mobo bios factory defaults.
- Pulled the Bios battery and power cable and allow to sit for a while.
- Googled my brain out.
- Thinking of buying a cheap(?) CPU to swap and see.
The beauti:
i7 860 (clocking per board defaults ie no overclocking)
Zalman copper fin low RPM CPU cooler (with speed controller). Keep in mind this has been running for a year so I'm rulling out the CPU fan speed check.
GA-P55A-UD5 Rev 1.0
Corsair HX 750W
Corsair Dominator 4G (2x2G) TW3X4G1600C9D ver 2.4. I know this is a 1.8v (1.5v SPD) but again keep in mind this has been running for a year.
All bar hard disks were bought new and assembled a year ago.
I'd love to hear any thoughts. I feel empty with out this beauti running...
Cheers,
Idiot Boy.
