ASUS Striker II Extreme

Hey guys

I've receveid my S2E yesterday, and after a whole afternoon with it ... I ask myself: How can I kill it ? ^^

More seriously, I encounter the worse issues I never seen on a board: BSOD everytime, OS unstable, restart and Christmas Tree mobo ...

I use: Q6600 B3, 2Go OCZ XMP and 2Go casual DDR3 1600MHz, 2 Raptors 74Go and 9600 GT in SLI.

First, my raptor were been killed down I can't install os anymore and disks are not recognised anymore ...

Then, maybe I've overvolted the NB 'cause I've set 1.58 for 1600 FSB on my Q6600 and after check the temp' I was near 60° for the NB ... Is that possible ?

So ! What's wrong with this board ? I use 0511 BIOS found in this topic ...

Thanks in advance guys

PS: I'm french so please, excuse my english

Change to 2T and see if that helps.
Voltage shouldnt be an issue for the NB, running mine on 1.7v @ 40`c

typically I've installed the Northbridge waterblock/fusion system started up my SIIE for the first time only to be presented withan error message that isn't in the debug code table?

Error message is "ERROR MESSAGE", the word message is abbreviated to fit onto the screen. CPU, RAM and hard drives all past the post tests but this error manifests itself by not allowing me to have any display through my 9800 GPU, on either DVI sockets, so I can't even go into the BIOS!

The 9800 GPU which is also brand new works on another motherboard so I know that's not faulty. Any suggestions would be appreciated or shall I just RMA the motherboard after all the hard work of installing the water block/fusion block?

Before I go I would like to give out this warning, DO not under any circumstances used the reducers/fittings at Asus supplied with this motherboard, they leak or completely fail with any lateral pressure, as I found out to my cost, but fortunately I had no other components installed and I was using non conductive coolants!

Any help on the debug code error message would be appreciated as I'm sure you guys will be quicker than Asus.

The LCD shows "ErrMsg" whenever there is a POST error. It did it when I got the message during my post that my NB,SB and CPU was overheating.Also, look @ the sequence of the LCD post message. It usually gives you indication which component could be the trouble maker. It starts from "Code Init" then "CPU init" and so on.

An Asus forum member had the same issue and suggested trying another GPU. Fortunately I still have a 8800 GTX which lets me see the BIOS at least. Hopefully Asus have a BIOS fix?

Asus download page is down and I need to check the change logs for these particular OS to see if there is a fixed for the NVIDIA 9800 GX2 GPU non booting on the motherboard, if anybody has the BIOS I can download it would be much appreciated? Thanks in advance, optical10

Hello Optical.

Dont worry about this issue you comment. Ive had it too, and its too easy to fix.

Your grafic card is well, you only have to plug an hdmi cable, youre surely using dvi. If your monitor is not hdmi, buy an hdmi-dvi cable. I had the same problem when I cleared cmos. After doing it, the only way to see the bios was to plug an hdmi.

Oh, if anybody here is having corruption trouble, say it and will try to help. Ive got a stable system now.
