new build ran fine for 2 days now wont even post
Last response: in Systems
maximus formula
q6600
2x2 gskill but have also used 1gb sticks
vista 64
My build was stable,ran prime for 24 hours. I had my ram set at 2.1 but it will run at 2.0. so i dropped it down and changed the freq to 533 so its 1/1 for when I overclock.
ran prime 95 for 6 hours stable temps no greater than 44c. then it crashed.
got PFN_list_corrupted. vista wouldnt start but it would post fine.
so this morning I figured I would put it back to 2.1 vdimm in bios.
changed it to that rebooted,posted fine. went to do a new vista install. because it seems when ive had a mem error it corrupted vista.
got to the part where it was copying files and then got a BSOD that said Memory management error.
from this poin forward I get a cpu init on the lcdposter. cant get past that. also all of the led voltage lights now have all three lights on, green, yellow and red,
what do you think can be causing this. any help is appreciated

Im going to send the gskill back. been nothing but a problem. Im just waiting til 11am NY time when they open at newegg.
I was on the low side of the voltage at 2.0 instead of 2.1.
now with two different kinds of ram I still cant post. I moved the videocard to a different pcie slot. still no good. cant get it to post. get cpu init. which ive never gotten before. I hope the chip didnt fry

I've fried my G. Skill PC6400 overvolting before. Everything worked fine, overvolted it and killed it. I had to isolate the bad DIMM and RMA it. Not sure about the PSU being bad.That gskill is suppose to run at 2.1, at least the 2 gig sticks I was playing with did. So I doubt you overvolted it.
First off, I'd reset CMOS, there is a button on the exterior of case for this purpose. Then try to boot with one stick. If you can do that then go back into BIOS and set it to 2.1.
If that fails then try another brand of RAM if you can. Maybe the Maximus just doesn't like what you have, though it is working OK on my friend's machine.
Try another PSU. You have a great unit there but it could be a lemon, happens to the best sometimes.
If that fails take the PC apart and rebuild it barebones outside of the case. No drives, just cpu/fan. 1 stick RAM, power, video card, monitor.
Try resetiing CMOS before anything else.
Did you say you have already tried a different type of RAM? Which was it?
If nothing seems to work and you have ruled out the PSU then you may simply have a bad MOBO. After all you have been through that would not be a surprise at this point. Perhaps you should RMA that with the RAM?

I tried the ram in my kid's computer. it didnt work with that either.
yeah I know its starting to piss me off lol. I thought I had it working great, til last night. I mean, it ran for two days no problems. prime for 24 hours too. plus memtest on the gskill and the others for 2 hours each.
I may have to bring it to a pc repair place because I dont have the spare parts to diagnose it

I overvolted it to 2.3 or so and burned a DIMM. I RMA'd the 2 GB kit and got two new good DIMMs. I don't use this in my main computer anymore, but it's very good RAM. Fried out though.

I am currently running 8 GB's of this G. Skill at 1066mhz. with an E8400 in the board. I had the G. Skill PC6400 I linked earlier in here too. No problem at all. I doubt my PC8000 will overclcok much past PC8500. The PC6400 will overclock past PC8000 (1000mhz.).

Treat it like a brand new build and try this:

it didnt. I moved the system downstairs so i can take it apart and out of the case.
when i got the MB It had the clr cmos jumper in the wrong position, not default activated as it should have been.made me beleive someone else rma'd it and like alot of places do they dont beleive them and send it back out rather than to asus.

Yep, and I took two days off. one to build it, and now another wasting my time trying to repair it.
actually the second day off was to play cod4 and crysis when my new videocard comes today. figured I would just pop it in and play. then last night saw it crashed running prime and this morning away it went lol
Im sending them back for a refund.
do you think I should still go with the formula or a differnet MB.
Im running q6600 and evga gts 512.
If I go witht he formula I will get the crucial ballistick 2x1, its on the approved list, but ill get two sets.
or do you think I should go with the 7801 board. or something else
one other question, how would I know if anything happened to the cpu. since it got stuck on cpu init. is it readily apparent if it burned up?
thx badge youve been patient and a great help
