Thane,
Yes. This one is interesting. I follow this thread.
But, you have many more m/b's to test with than I. Still this one is
most odd.......... ?
I do so wish I was a BIOS-maven but I am not. I suffer with it on each
new tech m/b I buy.
I would suspect that the cpu VR's on the m/b have taken a dive. The
replacement cpu that you tried did not press them hard enough; so, they
just worked OPSNORML once again. JMHO.
You always do share good problems! Do you perhaps have ash fallout from
the Iceland volcano ATM?
If so, all bets are off........... :)
Best,
Duncan

I'm looking into the BIOS. Doesn't appear to be the power supply. I have
seen many CPUs go bad over the years, but I've never seen a CPU stop
working on one motherboard and then work in another. That's interesting.
