You'd be able to see if they were damaged. I'm pretty sure the person tried to flash the BIOS and somehow screwed it up because the only ways for all four DIMM slots to stop working are a failed CPU (or IMC on the CPU) or cut traces, as you said and I don't know how you would damage the traces for all 4 DIMM slots by installing the board into a case.

You could be right. Depends also what case that system used to be in. I had the same situation a few years ago with an AMD FX board,it was used in a cheap Zalman case and the board was bent because of the way that case was made. When i swapped it in a case that actually was keeping it flat,it only worked about 1 more week until it died (worked fine until i turned it off and never powered up ever again). It can also happen if you put in a heavier GPU that would warp the board and ruin the traces with time
@khanbrandonward Жыл бұрын
Hey Greg, I can tell you a story about a case swap that killed one of my systems: About 15 years ago I was moving my system from my old (Coincidence! Check out that top mounted fan on the system you just fixed) Apevia X-Jupiter S type to a new Cooler Master HAF-X. The system was in perfect working order before the switch, I changed no other hardware, but upon finishing the case swap, the system wouldn’t power on, I tried swapping the PSU, RAM, CPU, GPU, every combination of devices attached and unattached, nothing worked. This was far from the first system I had ever built, but nothing I could think of worked; eventually I resorted to buying a new motherboard, and guess what? That didn’t work either! I was at my wits end and finally reached out to a friend that was as good (possibly better, but I’ll deny that) with computers as me. We tested all of my hardware, everything was fine except the motherboards, they were both dead. Eventually we tore apart the case itself and when removing the front I/O plate and PCB from the case we discovered that it was assembled incorrectly at the factory! One of the solder legs from the power connector to the PCB had pierced through the ground wire running to the motherboard USB 2.0 header dumping voltage into it and cooking the boards. This we confirmed was the problem, I rebuilt the system with a different HAF-X; Cooler Master, after some “hemming and hawing”, eventually cut me a check to make me whole again for the money I had spent on parts that couldn’t be returned. Anyway, I hope this story is a helpful warning to everyone, check everything when building in a new case, you could save yourself some real heartache. Oh, and R.I.P. my DFI Lanparty DK P45-T2RS plus, I loved that board.

@archerbob6847 Жыл бұрын
I'd of built the system out out the case, I would have also looked for board flex where the weight of the CPU heatsink can cause a motherboard to flex especially if one does not have sufficient support under the board. The resulting shape of the board can take CPU pins out of sufficient contact with the CPU memory controllers/lanes resulting in the DRAM error. I've had this happen to multiple boards, one board after I took it out of its case and gently flattened it back worked perfectly again with no DRAM error. Hence these days I tend to look for ways to support my boards apart from the supplied standoffs such as little silicon stick-on feet in typically 3 or 4 targeted locations under the motherboard I find usually does the trick.

I had a somewhat similar experience that the owner did. Expect, mine happened when I took my GTX 980 Ti out to remove the dust with an air can, but when I reinstalled my GPU the CPU (i7 6700K and an Asus Z170-A) decided it was going to overheat without actually getting hot. I didn’t touch as single component other than the GPU. The cooler I had for that CPU was an AIO in perfect working order. No damage to the CPU or motherboard caused by handling it. No overclock was applied to the CPU at the time either. When the system was on, the exhausted air from the CPU was pretty darn close to ambient temperatures. It limited it to 1 core at 800mhz. Not sure what caused it.
@JoeBob79569 Жыл бұрын
I almost killed my motherboard once when swapping cases. One of the standoffs started rotating when I was loosening the motherboard screw, and it started lifting the corner of the motherboard. I wasn't paying full attention to it, until I heard a _crack_ and I absolutely freaked out, because I immediately knew that I stupideded more stupider than usual. But luckily the board worked fine afterwards. I think the reason was that I didn't pay enough attention to tightening the standoffs on day one, and I also had 2 different types of "motherboard screws", I might have been using a PSU screw instead, with slightly different threads, but they look the same. It's definitely good to double check everything, and immediately stop and check yourself if something feels off, like a mobo screw feeling a bit strange when tightening or loosening it.

One posible explanation for a dead motherboard after swapping cases is damage to the back of the motherboard when moving it to the new case by scraping it against the scree standoffs. FYI, I remember Linus from LTT mentioning that that had happened to him once. Another possibility is a standoff in an incorrect bore/hole could cause a short since the case is grounded. I'd double check the back of the board, and essentially the standoffs just to be sure. Also a quick question: Sometimes you come across motherboards without debug codes/LEDs, have you ever tried using a PCIe debug card? If yes, is there a reason you don't use them?

We upgraded a system recently (3900X-5950X/32-64GB RAM) to gain a bit more longevity before moving past AM4, when the motherboard, an Aorus Master which had been working perfectly - bailed. We lost slot A2 completely, while B2 alone or A1 B1 in tandem caused the system to run like it needed a tune-up. Tested absolutely everything to no avail; I guess it just got tired. The pisser was that had I known we were going to drop another $300 on a MB, I may have just gone AM5 (though spending even more overall, and the whole point was not to do that).

Ordered a new board which did not come with a battery, popped the old battery in to the new board, and the issue followed it.
