Testing / comparing : Intel D975XBX2 / Asus P5B DX ***56K WARNING***

[mezcal]

I have a weird problem with my bad axe2. Any changes I make in BIOS setup are not being saved and my computer would not load os from hdd or any other bootable device. It just stops posting and displays code EB in the lower right corner. Did anyone ever have this problem? Thanks

Oh, I tried bios recovery method too - nothing happened

I had this happen after a failed overclock. Started a thread under help and support-search for "untimely demise of bad axe 2" or something like that-was a couple months ago.
Have also found at least 2 other references to the identical issue on xs but never any solutions. (one is WAY back in this thread.) So this will make 4 that I know of unless you can figure it out.
Real weird-could get into bios, sees the drives, etc just always hangs as you say and will not boot from any device. I tried absolutely everything with no results.
Finally RMA'd it. Replacement has been fine with all the same peripherals.

Thanks for the response guys. I tried few things today, but nothing helped. Will call Intel RMA tomorrow.
