Hey Lopaka,
Great to hear from you! Man, the hardware list were some good
times. :)

I was wondering if anyone was still using the list. Hey Thane :)
My recommendation would be all new everything and check your components
once you have a running system. New cpu/mobo at least. If you know anybody
with spare parts you could try to figure out what is still working but it
will take more time

You are showing your age. They are DIMMS now. :)
I'd try a single DIMM in each socket. Does this motherboard have a RAM
config button (some do). If so, try that.
Have you tried a different power supply? I've had power supplies which
will power up the motherboard but not allow it to boot.

After 10 years my E6896_P9X79_WS with i7-4930K has failed me. My
original setup was running fine but one day it wouldn’t boot and the board
reported a CPU error. I cleaned the dust off the board and did a major
cleaning of the CPU fan and heat sink and it seemed to run just fine. I had
a couple extra RAM SIMMS so I decided to install them. What I had installed
was 4 CRUCIAL DDR 3 4GB SIMM running at 1866. What I added into bank two
was two 8GB CRUCIAL DDR3 running at 1600. It didn’t seem to recognize all
the RAM so I went into the BIOS to try different settings. I enabled Auto
Memory frequency settings saved and exited out. This is when my troubles
began.
The PC hung at post. I saw nothing on the screen just a black screen.
At first I thought something must of got corrupt so I tried auto flashing
the BIOS but it wasn’t working normally so I tried clearing the bios with
the on board pin, and finally I pulled everything off the board, removed it
from the case and let it sit in it’s box for a month. Then I cleaned
everything and put it back together but same problem.
It occurred to me that maybe the CPU burned out when the fan slowed down
and then my memory bios adjustment finished it off. So I purchased a used
but tested CPU on Ebay and tried again. Same issue. I hate to just throw
this board away but I am out of ideas. Anybody have any ideas to jump start
the board? Thanks <w>
