[Severance]

Argh... after establishing a stable baseline, I am starting to have a ton of problems with this board.

I'm running 360 x 10, 1080mhz @ 4-4-4-12 on 8888 Dominators. It will run Orthos blend for 12+ hours with no problems. Everything seems rock solid and then every few days when I turn on my screen everything is dead. Attempts to boot the system will freeze every time with CHIPINIT or DET DRAM. I swap memory to a cheap stick, and it starts booting, but nothing will bring it back online. Unplugging it, clearing the CMOS, etc. all have no effect. It just hangs at CHIPINIT and wont post.

If I let it sit disconnected for 30 minutes I can get it started again. Then it will work flawlessly. Orthos will run for hours and everything is solid... then a few days later, it happens again. I am very frustrated at this point. CPU temps don't go over 56-57C running Orthos, idle they are at 42C or so. I don't know if I should RMA or not. Powersupply is the Corsair 620W (Seasonic).

It's very frustrating, especially after all the BS I went through with the EVGA 680i POS killing my memory.

Just got this board last night. And nothing but problems from the get go. Same thing is happening to me also. Using a quad core liquid chilled ocz pc8000 and ati 1950 crossfire. Only way to get crossfire working is to use new drivers with old catalyst control center....unbelievable. By far the worst board i have ever had. FSB max is 360 on this board.this cpu was 445fsb stable on My bx2. Also...Does turning power supply off suppose to reset the bios on this thing or what? cus it doesent, or is there another way you are suppose to do it? Pulling out one of my video cards sometimes brings this pig back to life but not to often.
