this is my 5th evga 780i board now. it is doing the same CRAP all the others have done.
:banghead::mad::banghead::mad::banghead::mad::banghead::shadedshu:shadedshu:shadedshu

here's the deal...

5 BRAND NEW, SEALED BOX, Evga 780i boards now have run fine for about 24hours at bios defaults. the minute i go back and set something different it wont boot and corrupts data on the hard drive to where i cant boot into windows without reinstalling. you may think, "he set something wrong or overclocked to far". NO!
EXAMPLE: i have a set of OCZ 1066mhz 2x1gigs... they have ran fine for MONTHS at 1066mhz at the 2.3v stock settings WITH EPP on in the bios of my 680i. my 780i will boot and run fine with the OCZ's set to 667mhz @ 1.8v BUT... i set them to run 1066mhz, voltage is auto set to 2.3v and timings are set correctly from SPD settings.... reboot, beeeeeeeeep! nothing. then... i turn the machine off, boot it up again, it shows 1066mhz, right voltage and timings. tries to boot into windows and BAM! dead. BSOD! i have had countless DIFFERENT error codes that point to EVERY piece of hardware in the whole damn machine being problematic.

you may be thinking, "dude, it's your ram!" NO!!
EXAMPLE: lets say i leave the ram alone.... and now im gonna set the proper multi and FSB settings along with the CPU:mem divider. dont touch voltage at all, everything still running at stock speeds. reboot....... BAM! dead. reboot again.... boots fine with all setting(set by me) in tact, (fresh load of windows now) BSOD! not even system restore or vistas boot fix will work.

now your thinking "have you tried XP?" YES, i have. same CRAP!

other things i've tried.....

different ram
different video cards
different dvd drive
different PSU
different hard drives
different CPU's
even different motherboards

same damn problem!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

here's the kicker.....
i go back to the 680i and everything works FLAWLESS. even overclocked!

so now your thinking, " dont use a 780i man. sell it." i have 2 currently that really dont qualify for RMA because they work fine at bios defaults. does anyone want to buy a registered POS 780i? NO! im stuck with $500+ in motherboards that are complete crap.

EVGA, i want my damn money back.... NOW!

if you have ANY suggestions... PLEASE let me know.

Just get a different board, it clearly doesn't like something of yours in it. If they won't refund you, get a new sealed one from them again and sell that on eBay.

thats what i plan on doing. i've gotta wait for the RMA's. my 680i has been a real killer board for about a year now. i guess it likes me.... and my stuff. i guess i'll take the money from the 780i's and get a 790i and UBER-expensive ddr3.

This may prove a little pointless but, I'm just wondering whether its a heat issue as your sys spec's tell me your watercooling and air flow will be limited around your mosfet heatsinks. Just a thought. :twitch:

indeed.

Simplify things: run it out of a case with stock (air) cooling on all components. Point a desk fan at it for testing. Just rule out a hardware conflict (cooling, shorting)

Its possible something like the mosfets is overheating due to a deadspot in your system, as dia01 has said. So give it a shot and see if it helps!

really? i've heard that the asus 780i are worse than the reference boards. let me know where you heard that. im interested in seeing how they do. i would switch if it took care of my problems.

EVERY SINGLE BOARD was run out of the case. tried intel stock cooler on cpu and used stock coolers on my gtx and GT cards. tried different ram, cpu. very good cooling setup on my bench system. even the temps measured up fine. cooler than my 680i that WORKS. the only hardware conflict is the board. it's conflicting with my ability to use my computer.

From many reviews I have read that included Asus and EVGA (I was seriously thinking of getting a 780i for my two Palit 8800GT's), the XFX 780i seems to be the best one from what I can see.

it's the same as the evga one. even the bios's are same. im might give the asus a try before i scrape the whole idea. my 680i is looking golden right now. im glad i didn't sell it yet.

ok, so you did all those.

I'm trying to look for that stupid niggling flaw, or overlooked thing that can cause really random screwups on some hardware.

They were all ran out of a case - are they earthing properly? maybe it needs to be IN a case?

You;ve tried other hardware, so its jsut trying different variations with the same hardware.

yeah. im about to install my knee to the backside of this POS!

i thought it was my ram but i tried ram that is completely different and it causes something else to happen. like right now.. i just got a 0x00000018 REFERENCE_BY_POINTER error. the error codes are very random. never the same one twice.

i have tried them in cases as well. same things happen. it all started when i got the first 780i board. this hardware has run on my 680i's for about a year SOLID without error.

i'm seriously out of ideas here. you seem to have a bitch of a problem.
Is there any available bios updates?

OH, DONT EVEN GO THERE! the p03 bios is worse than the p02 that comes on the board. my second 780i i updated the bios to the p03 and it boot fine at bios defaults. if you change anything.... it's done. it gives POST codes like crazy. i got A0(not found anywhere) 11, 1d, 25, 2d. they all stop and hang on random codes. sometimes the board would jump straight to FF without posting at all.

i've gone and looked up pics of the board, and apart from making sure all the chipset/mosfet coolers are properly greased i cant think of anything.

Everything else is negated by you trying various hardware combos, as commonly this would be bad ram, overheating, or power related

WHAT ERROR IS POSTING ON THE MB LCD SCREEN?
i had a same problem it was my video card though using a 8800GT in a EVGA 680i AI then goin to a EVGA 780i didnt like it, wouldn't post screen in windows would black out some time's, i got a 8800GTS EVGA no problem at all

And for OCZ ram i hate that stuf, i had so many problems with it when i was using my 680i, i had 4GB OCZ REAPER 1066MHZ, i've only had one problem with my board and i fixed it im using a p03 bios no problems, and i tested the 8800GT worked fine in PCI-e 1.1 boards,think its some thing to do with the 8800's,they didn't like the swap, i had a 8400GS that worked fine i keeped try the GT but no hope did the same thing ova and ova work for a day then dead,then i would use the GS for a day or two then try the GT, wouldn't post just beep, and when i did get it to post would BSOD or just go black.

the code that it give me are in post 15 on this page. the one that stumps me is the A0 code. i have yet to find what it means. as for the ram.... my corsair's and my gskill's do the same crap on all the 780i's ive had.

and you said the screen would blank out... yes mine did that when it was working. the nvlddmkm would crash and not recover causing a BSOD and reboot. i couldn't stay in windows long enough to attempt to fix the problem. i uninstalled ALL the nvidia drivers in safe mode and used driver cleaner. it did the same thing over and over no matter what driver i installed. i reinstalled windows 12 times since then.
