ASUS Striker II Extreme

Thanks Slim142, I tried the CMOS but I will try to remove the battery next.

Let us know how it goes. I got a couple more tricks.

Taking the battery out did not work, tomorrow I will remove the motherboard and start over, possibly in another case (more room).

Have you tried using different ram?

I have tried three sets of RAM, one stick or two sticks at a time. This motherboard was running just fine a month ago on a test bench. I am just going to take it a part and start over again. Sometimes it is easier to start over then to spend all that time troubleshooting.

Thanks

Try playing around with the CMOS button, CMOS battery and power cord. Also, try this with one RAM stick. If it doesnt work, check LCD doesnt say DET DRAM, sometimes it means the RAM is defective.

Unplug the power cord (the one from wall to PSU)
take out the battery
reset CMOS
leave for some time (10 mins maybe?)
put battery back
put power cord back

This is what usually worked for me for my first striker (which was the devil of not booting). Those three things usually make the magic happen.

I put the motherboard in a larger case with sufficient room to trouble shoot, still no boot. Currently trying Slim142 suggestion above. It's late so I will leave the battery out overnight. I'll tell you the results tomorrow.

Thanks Slim142

Still no boot. Given the trouble it is to get one of these motherboards stable let along overclocked I am not sure I am willing want to put in the time needed to solve this problem. I still love my up and running Striker II Extreme but I am thinking I will just get an Intel motherboard and say good bye to my second Striker II Extreme.
