GA-990FXA-UD7 No POST LCD OO then 88

[MauriceTSC]

Yeah, I think I'd stop testing before something dies.  Hopefully you have a return window still open.

I filled out a tech request form from GB. Hopefully I hear from them soon. I bought the MB from NewEgg in the last week. If it's bad, they get to RMA it.

also, what psu do you have?  I've seen similar things happen on low quality and low power PSUs before.  I just assumed a short as I had when I got the error code 88 before.

I have an Ultra 1000w PSU that I bought a few years back, actually 2 of the same PSU's. It's been rock solid. It was the only fully modular PSU I could buy locally back then. There weren't any choices, which has it's positives & negatives.

I have read a ton of ultra bad reviews of those Ultra PSUs.  Can you swap them?  or feel like it at this point?  lol  When they first came out they were pretty bad.  not sure how they are doing lately.

There were only a couple of professional reviews out when I bought the Ultra's. They were positive. This was back when there really weren't many options for fully modular PSU's. I haven't had any issues with either one, so will wait until one fails before replacing it.

I meant put the PSU from the good pc and put it in the problematic pc and see if things start working or you get a different result.

Are you positive the second PSU is good?  You are having issues as we type.

Just wanted to make sure it was good before starting rmaing things and you have to waste days or even weeks.

btw, if you return to the egg, ask for cross shipping.  it gets it in your hands quicker and is free.  also, call them for the return, sometimes they give you free shipping.

also, on those Ultra PSUs, they were getting such horrible reviews newegg stopped stocking them.  I just checked and they still don't.

I've already done that. Both PSU's are fine.

Absolutely sure. It doesn't matter which PSU I use, same result. When I use either one on the CHIV the ASUS MB works fine.

Just wanted to make sure it was good before starting rmaing things and you have to waste days or even weeks.

I'm not worried about either one. They both have been good to me. The first one was problem free & it's why I bought the 2nd one.

Will do.

Jalso, on those Ultra PSUs, they were getting such horrible reviews newegg stopped stocking them.  I just checked and they still don't.

I must have got 2 from a good batch. If one ever does fail I would have a lot more choices in fully modular PSU's.

I forgot to mention that I also pulled the video card from the PCI-E slot & then tried to start it. It's doing the exact same thing it did with the VC in place. It briefly shows life, then shuts off allowing the fans to spin down. The 955 x4 is still in place. I'm going to dismantle it & check the same thing with one of the other CPU's in place. No rush. NewEgg is closed tomorrow anyway.

Oh, got a reply from GB tech support. The reply was basically to try everything I'd already done, like they didn't read what I spent the time writing, & if that fails to RMA it to the retailer.

I got a RMA for the MB yesterday, packed it up, & dropped it off at a UPS pick-up location today for it's trip back to California.

I left the battery and jumping from side to almost 6 hours. He pulled the sled, reinstalled the battery on the 955 is hooked again, and gave it to go. It just does not continuously cycling. This is a very large smiley հեղուկբյուրեղային (LCD) for the fans spinning very fast, then the forces are GMT

Hi Thaversonly

Please try to make sense when posting. You don't list where you are from in your profile but I understand that English may not be your primary langauge and that can have some influence but often your posts are totallly incomprehensible. If you cannot post sensible questions or information I am afraid I will have to remove it from the forum.

I received the replacement MB via UPS this afternoon. I used the 955 x4 to get it up & running on the bench. It goes in to the case either tonight or tomorrow.

[MauriceTSC]

I'm getting towards where I want to be, & it is up & running. Did some minimal tweaking & hit 5 GHz. Not too bad. The only problem I'm having is booting with the 2nd crossfire card installed, &  while running the first VC & a RevoDrive 3. Failed at stock CPU speed with all 3 installed in PCI-E slots.

[MauriceTSC]

Got it figured out. Had to change the default value in "Init Display First" to the slot the primary card is in. Crossfire is now working & there's no trouble booting the RevoDrive3.

[MauriceTSC]

It's been running at 5GHz for the last week with minimal effort put in to getting it there. Very easy set-up & result.
