Just found this forum and read through a lot of posts, can't' believe I didn't discover this place sooner. Seems to be a great community.
Here's my issue:
My current build has worked flawlessly for about a year. A couple of months ago the computer stopped recovering from a Sleep state, and it would not power back up after a manual shutdown. Furthermore, the computer would also shutdown without warning while under load (via an intentional stress test and/or gaming). Once the rig powered down via either method, it would not power back up unless the power cord was disconnected from the psu and/or flipping the psu switch. After about five minutes it would power back on again. Also note that while under normal conditions, email, web surfing, etc. the rig would stay on without issue.
I did the normal rounds, paperclip test (even though it doesn't mean much), memtesting, removed overclocks, reinstalled BIOS, reset cmos, etc. I even swapped power supplies and the problem still persisted. So I checked all the cables, pins, connections, etc. Nothing that I could tell. Even checked the case wiring for a faulty power button that might be causing issues. Nada.
I concurred it was a motherboard issue, and got approved for an RMA from ASUS. They sent me a brand new board, I popped it in, and everything worked fine (I could power up/shutdown all day, and stressing didn't do a thing), that is for about a period of three weeks. Then the rig shutdown during a game of Battlefield without warning, and I'm now right back where I started: rig powers down under load and will not power back up unless power is disconnected from the psu.
I went through the same troubleshooting this time around, minus swapping psu's again, and nothing seems to work. I even reformatted my drive this time and left a barebones system with just Windows 7 and the basic, necessary drivers. No dice.
I'm stumped. A second bad motherboard? Seems highly unlikely to me. I have timid OC's and absolutely no heating issues. Cpu never exceeds 45C, motherboard never exceeds 35C, and the gpu has never exceeded 55C. Case is well ventilated and the rig is in a very cold room in my home.
If the psu is bad, I don't quite understand how it worked fine after swapped motherboards for a period of three weeks, then reverted back to having issues.
Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks!
