oh BTW some of you guys might find this interesting i know eva2000 would

i was all rushing to get some files off the main rig (Asus P5B Deluxe +E6300) and forgot that i had my 8-pin power plugged UNPLUGGED

turned on the mobo.......no boot and then it hit me
quick turn it off >> plugged it all in >> no go >> cleared cmos >> NO GO >> clearned cmos took the battery out left it for 10 mintes >> no go :bawling:

i'm thinking the CPU is dead.........so i pull it out and stick it in P5K >> CPU works awesome

OK so i'm think is the mobo dead >>> put another CPU in >> NO GO....pull the RAM out and put a 256MB jump stick >> mobo boots

so it's the RAM

:bawling: :bawling:

tested each stick >> OEM Micron D9GMH sticks 2GB kit and one of the sticks refuses to work in both motherboards and the other was fine :bawling:

what do i do >>> eeeeeeeerrrrrrrr stick it in the freezer Dino i'm thinking....maybe the ICs got a shock or something and ....... well you get the point >>> so i'm messing with my system copying some files across and i remembered after 10-15 minutes i had the stick in the freezer still

pull it out of freezer >> stick it in the Asus P5B Deluxe with the other one from the kit and IT ING BOOTS

SuperPI tested >>> orthos blend for a couple of hours

used it this morning as well >>>>>>>>>>WOW THAT WAS A COMEBACK AND A HALF:heh:

moral of the story is >>> err check the cables before you turn on the PC....if you up stick the hardware in a freezer and do a chicken dance for 10 minutes and pray it boots hahahahahha
