Hi!!!
in fact I have much more questions but... let me tell you.
Today I started working with my pc that had been okay this week after some upgrades.
Now and then I had a bluescreen with every core at 44x (not gaming, more like working with files, scanning documents), and I had it set to 5 cores a 42x and 1 core at 44x. the voltage was somewhat high, 1.38 v.
Today I noticed my mouse and overall feeling a bit slugish, like the start menu popping up with "lag", etc.
I said to myself: who knows if this Intel Turbo thing (using 1 core with higher clock for some applications) is still beta... so I rebooted and set all 42x and lowered the core voltage a bit to 1,35 v.
Then TERROR started.
No boot, bluescreen.. and a led on the mobo lighted up. This X99 mobo (RampageV edition10) has 4 leds for faults:
bios-dram-vga-boot device
well. some boots the vga led stood on, some boots the "boot device" stood on.
Wth!.
Is my recently watercooled VGA missing in action? Is it my boot device (SSD)?
So I removed all peripherals. All hard disc drives, and exchanged the vga for another one.
No improvement.
Sometimes my keyboard or an old PS/2 is not detected.
Asus Crashfree 3 BIOS update tool with my usbdrive and a fresh bios does not work either.. the blue light of the crashfree button flashes a couple of times, but nothing happens.
Also removed the mobo battery for over a minute
I am booting with only 1 ram stick, just in case
I have switched bioses (dual bios).
Mostly all I get is
- non responsive to keyboard
- press F2 or DEL message but goes not into BIOS (only once (out of 30 boot attempts) I entered but got only a frozen bios screen)
- LCD poster messages are mainly A9 (start of setup) and 99 (super IO initialization)
also lots of other numbers and a freeze, always black screen.
Have I frustrated my CPU so much that it said bye? (6850K) Did I corrupt my BIOS? Any help is appreciated.
