My Asus P9 X79WS with I7 has been giving me headaches for months. It runs at
default there is no overclock. It uses Crucial DDR3 Ballistic Sport Ram and a
EVGA 1070 video card.
It runs for a while and then with a reboot it hangs and won’t post.
Eventually it started shutting down on it’s own and, after I replaced the CPU
cooler it seemed to behave. It has been running good for the last couple of
weeks until yesterday’s MS windows 10 update. It does the update, then reboots
and stops at the ASUS logo and won’t go on and won’t go to BIOS.
I have pulled everything but the 1070 video card out in an attempt to discover
the problem. RAM that checks out with Memtest… I have even swapped the RAM out
trying to see if was RAM but the RAM is good. I removed all drives but no
change.
I tried clearing the BIOS, and then a re-flash of the current BIOS. Nothing
helped.
Anybody go through anything like this or have any ideas or has this board just
gone bad.
