If he's going to take it out, he should also see if the board looks crispy, has blown caps, etc. Or . . . he can post a hi-res pic for us.

Any problems will probably be obvious though. A crispy board has crackle marks in the coating but may still be good. If it's really fried, he should probably see that much if not outright scorch marks.

Can't remember if that board has the start button on the board but if not just short the start pins with a screw driver. See if it fires up that way.

Even if you only have a 350 watt or so power supply it should be enough to do the above test.

I am somewhat suspecting either the CPU went bad, power supply, or ram.

Keep us posted Kevin!
It's out of the case with a diffrent PSU, and it still doesn't give me a beep code, and I need to hold power to shut it off..

I don't see any scorches, or popped caps. I'm asking my friend who has Rebel T2i if I can borrow it for a bit, the cameras I have are terrible

Then don't worry. I wasn't sure if you knew what to look for.

Hmm, I have to think that the overclock either fried the CPU or the ram man. Do you have any other processor or ram you could test?

Asus is not fast by any stretch of the imagination. If the board needs RMA'd it will probably take about a month or so. 2 to 3 weeks if your lucky Kevin.

First off, congrats to last nights stoners.

2nd of all, Kevin, I'll check out your thread now.

3rd of all I got a free socket AM3+ mobo, it's a $60 760G GB motherboard but with a BIOS update it supports FX processors. So in the near future, I might have another six or eight cores added.

income tax comes in on the 15th.

By the time that your rig reports back, that they receive and evaluate, then award the points it might take a bit.

Go figure, these are all pending for me:

Man, I am at 599,638.21 with about 3 units with just under an hour to finish........LOL, I guess it will be tomorrow........Man I wanted to hit 600,000 before the finish of the weekend.

Not sure if the most, but our percentage still isn't that high. 20% as of today. I mean I don't really keep an eye on this much or at least on a daily basis, but I remember it at times being a little higher than this.
