CPU and DDRM e

[batogrujanac]

Hello,

I assembled my new computer a few weeks ago and it was working smoothly. It broke down this morning and I would like receive troubleshooting advice.

I left the computer idling for a few hours, then when I returned, it failed to wake up. I turned the power off and tried to restart. Nothing. The motherboard's DRAM and CPU indicator LED lights were on. I have Sabertooth X58 motherboard.

A friend recommended trying a different power supply. Didn't help.

I tried unplugging and replugging the DDR3 cards. Same.

Please help.

reset the bios by removing the board battery with the power supply unplugged. I recommend you stop using sleep mode; I've had too many issues with it on recent builds; I you still want a fast boot up, then get a cheap ssd; I use a 32 gb on my spare system, and 60 gb on my main system; both were about $1 per gb.

Yea, I've had nothing but problem with sleep and wake on any of my system. I always have turned to PC off when done, and reboot when needed.

Clear the CMOS, or remove the mobo battery as suggested.

Reseat everything to the motherboard: Video card, hard drives, whatever.

Try 1 stick of RAM at a time, going thru all of them before combining 2 or 3 sticks.

Finally, try reseating the CPU.

I have a feeling that it has what's called a "cold solder" on something to the motherboard. Unless you are tech savy, and an electrical engineer, you probably can't fix it. Can you RMA or return the mobo if so?
