The board has not booted since...all I get is FF post code.

Matt's experience was almost identical...within about 10 minutes of his session, he locked up during a wPrime32M run, and he has mot posted with the board since. He is also only able to get a FF post code.

I was very curious about this strange situation, and I started looking for similarities in our setup. Both of us were running on LN2, and both of us were running wPrime32M. Both of us were running Elpida Hyper mem (6GB for Matt, 3GB for me). I was running a W3580 ES, he was running a i7 960 ES.

Then something caught my eye...both of use were using two high amperage 60x38mm fans to cool our mem...both of use were running them off the mobo's headers. I was running Deltas rated at 1.2A...his stuff is not accessible right now, so we have not been able to verify his...but I'm pretty sure they are similar to mine.

So I was looking at this thread on the eVGA forums:
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=100563466
and noticed the OP says that the max current draw for each header is 1.0-1.2A Looks like that may have been the problem for both of us.

So my questions are:
Do you think this is the cause of the problem?
And, is there a way I fix it?

Thanks
