Joined 980X club,but.......
:mad:
First the good news -my 980X arrived today batch 3003B178 stock v core1.184. Is this a good batch - anybody else on here have this batch?
The bad news is that in the last two days my machine has gone bad, and I suspect it is the mobo. Getting lots of BSOD stop 124 and machine check errors. Have checked ram - passed 8 runs of memtest over 5.5hours. Have tried one stick etc etc. Re installed windows on a new hard drive still errors.
weird thing is that Windows will install perfectly fine - usually if there is a hardware problem windows will usually fall over during install. The other very strange behaviour is that I cannot use sleep mode like i used too - it goes into sleep mode but then almost imediately comes out - but with either CF flashing on the boards led or it will just loop at C1 and click like mad, reset button will not work and I have to use the power button to turn off, and then it will sometimes turn back on by itself, or if I restart using the power button it will resume instead of the expected fresh boot ???
Having tested most of it I am feeling it is either the graphics card or the mobo - any ideas from you wizards out there???
Very frustrated as I will noe probably have to send the board back to Giga and wait ages for a replacement - what do you think????
