Well I cleaned up the SB and heat sink as best as I can. Re-applied thermal paste...same thing. Turns off in Ubuntu. I'm positive it's the SB because the heat sink gets VERY hot.

I give up at this point, no reason to beat the dead horse. E-waste it goes!

only thing, find another motherboard or sell the chip.
