I built my machine in august. It was the first new build in 6 years. Motherboards and such had changed a bit since then. The imbecile that advised me made two critical errors: 1) my build requires a minimum of 1200 watts. 2) never use a heavy cooler master heat sink on a board that gets so hot.
my computer ran fantastic... until it didn't. Last week it started freezing up, then shutting off. I went through every component looking for the problem. I went through: 3 mobo"s, 3 power supplies, 2 cpu's, 2 hdd's, and 2 sets of ram. So please don't suggest I try any of those.
everything I swapped out or replaced was the same exact brand and model as the original build ex et for the power supply which has now been upped to 1,200 watts and the cooling system is now corsair hydro h100i.
I've eliminated all issues now except one: Dr. Debug error code A6. The UEFI doesn't recognize any SAT connections... at all! I've cleared cmos, I've unplugged, restarted, shut off, plugged back in, set to IDE mode (I don't use a raid config and use windows 7), and everything else I can think of. I'll reinstall windows and wipe the c drive if I can get that far, but nothing I do is getting the SCSI to read even my DVD drive! I know the SCSI is controlled by the Southbridge, but I'd like some help before I go tinkering with that.
my build:
asrock 990fx extreme9
amd fx9590
corsair vengeance 8x4 ram
radeon r9 270 gpu
wd 2tb hdd
Anyone have any ideas on this? I got nuthin'...
