I have tried all the steps listed in the sticky. Only things are that my case did not come with spacers (my old one did) so I assumed they were not required with this case, and also this case apparently does not have a speaker; so no beep codes.
I have only gotten 2 BSODs. They both happened the same day, after the first RMA, and 2 days before it totally stopped working again. One was 0x0000109 and the other was 0x00000050. Since those 2 I have gotten no more BDOD or any type of error message. Nor had I gotten any before the initial RMA, only with this "new" board. One day it just didn't boot.
Aside from that here's the issue. PC was working fine, until one day it booted to a black screen after the BIOS splash screen. After exhausting my troubleshooting knowledge I sent the motherboard back to ASUS on RMA. When I got the board back it worked for 3 or 4 days, and now the same thing is happening again. The only difference is when it first started happening again, for the first couple re-boots it woud get to the Windows loading screen, freeze, then restart, and now it's back to a black screen after the splash. I'm wondering if it's really the board and I should go ahead and do another RMA, or if something else could be causing this.
I've reseated everything down to the CPU several times. I reconnected all plugs several times. I've swapped out and around my ram sticks. Tried a different PSU as well as GFX card. Reset BIOS settings many times. Reset the CMOS battery. Tried with no HDD, and get same result (black screen after BIOS splash). Tried booting with no RAM at all, doesn't even get to BIOS splash screen.
Specs:
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard
8 GB XMS3 Corsair RAM
Radeon R7 260x gfx card
AMD FX 6350 six core CPU
Thermaltake Smart 650W 80+ Bronze PSU
Cougar Solution case
If you think I may have missed any info or a troubleshooting step prior to posting this or should try one again please let me know and I will try it asap.
