Can you try disabling devices in bios to see if it boots? Also try unplugging any usb devices. They always give me trouble.
 
and there are no Win10 drivers available on the Supermicro site for this board. :\

I assuming you have already loaded or tried the 8.1 drivers? If that is even available.
 
Stupid rig is at it again. I'm pretty certain it is a driver issue, as the Win10 boot screen loads, does a flash/flicker, then starts loading a little more before it locks up. It hink the part before the flash/flicker is the generic driver parts, and then specific drivers get loaded after the flash/flicker.

Just not sure what it is, and there are no Win10 drivers available on the Supermicro site for this board. :\

Usually I have this with HD4xxx series cards in some boards. Time for linux I guess.
 
Is anyone having good success running HST wu's? I know I've brought it up before, but I've barely been able to make a dent in that project and not without trying often.

It's proven to be a great difficulty getting consistent work in HST, and every time I put a rig on that work alone, it runs dry. And if I have a system running it and another project, it'll sporadically dabble in it with 1 wu.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was able to get it to boot again by clearing the CMOS.

I was disabling some things before. I forget that the onboard video gets set back to enabled/priority, and I didn't even get back into the BIOS this time to change anything. Maybe I was changing too much? I usually disable all the stuff I don't use to free up resources.

I'll have to check. I know it needs a BIOS update, but I haven't had a lot of free time to mess with it lately. It sat until today when I finally got around to clearing the CMOS.

I've got an HD5450 in it at the moment. I suppose I could try swapping it out with one of the Nvidia cards I have.

I just checked my contribution, I rarely get them, in fact only 10 results returned for it.
 
I have nothing except pages of MCM and Zika.

I tried swapping out the video card in the problem child, and it didn't make a difference. I decided to pull the video card out completely and just use the onboard (and deal with the poor response under load). I looked at the Device Manager and all devices had a driver listed, except the SAS controller which is now showing up since I left the BIOS at defaults. Maybe I can get to the BIOS update on Friday since I'll be off for the day.
 
Ahhhh.... Tito's back! :pimp:

I have 150 days worth of HST, Matt. 150 days. You've had more luck with them than we've had. (My results status shows no history for them)

I've been crunching with the W3530-based Mac Pro in recent weeks, but I'm concerned about its power consumption. So I'm going to replace it with L5640.
 
Ah feels good to be back. I've been MIA for the past several days, but I'm back now. rigs are chugging along nicely so can't complain :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend with plenty and eating and drinking and chilling!!! ;) :D
 
Alert: OpenZika now shows as ending in January. Get'em while you can.

Did you find Tito, too?

Yeah buddy. Tito and I played a nice game of tag-you're-it since Thursday, and I'm not complaining :D

Now it's back to the grind of work. Fun can only last so long... :(

My little party with Tito got interrupted at 5:00am with a phone call from the tech on-call. My stuff got broke :cry:

@ the rest of the team: I saw someone on Hardforums had an X58 mATX board and CPU combo for something like $70 shipped.

EDIT: ...and it's gone. Either that or someone told him he had crack-head pricing on it and then jacked up the cost.

Hey, I got a HST. Single, solitary HST. Poor guy, all by its self. Come on WCG, don't be so cruel.

Yeah that seems to be the way they roll. Seems weird though that they released a project that has proven difficult to work on.

Since you announced the end coming to Zika, I took off all but Zika wu's in hopes to try to get to 10 years before the deadline, although that didn't give me many more OZ wu's at all. It's doubtful to make it to 10 but it would be cool.

I got 53 in total to date, just enough for a bronze badge. Stop complaining :)

I gave up investigating to why my daily 20-30 days of WCG hardly ever dropped a HST in my direction. Not that it matters since there are clearly a demand (for badges) else were. My CPUs and MCM most be the preferred combination when sending out jobs.
 
I plan on sending a Christmas card to Norton in the following weeks if anyone would like me to mention something just let me know please.

Obviously I'll wish him the best from all of you

That is an awesome idea man!!!!! For sure mention all of the team members that are active on the forums.

If you don't mind, toss all of our usernames on the card...................Well, if there is enough room. :p
 
LoL. All names? The card will be like a toilet paper roll... :laugh:
