Mobo came yesterday. Replaced and PC booted right up.
Noticed something is different though. I did the ez tune for a quick overclock and it did an automatic 15% instead of the 20% that it had before the motherboard went out. Maybe I have to do a bios update and see what happens then.

I have a new battery and a new z170 deluxe headed my way right now. Will post results tomorrow for CMOS battery. Z170 is two weeks out.
No notification for ram or GPU. No beeps at all. The missing Q codes on the board make me think the board is likely the culprit.
Will check when I get home...
I've been running the rig in my sig for the last 8 years or so with basically no issues.
Came home last week to my PC off and not booting from the power switch on the case.
Mobo has power. Lights are on, but no Q code on the Asus numbered indicator. Power switch on Mobo does nothing.
Cleared...

I bought that last year as my BIFL laser printer. It ships with the standard low level sample-size toner quantity that you'll have to replace fairly quickly, but I put the high yield cartridge in there and am hoping it actually lasts as long as...
I had to return my s7 edge today due to a faulty camera. There was a black spot/smudge on the images. Brought it to a verizon store and they swapped it no questions asked. Loving the phone so far. Came from an s3 and this is worlds better. Battery life is >24 hours with heavy use and game...
UPS delivered my Verizon S7e today. Wasn't expecting this until the 11th. Just plugged it in to the included samsung wired fast charger. The phone says 47 minutes until it's fully charged. My fast charging bundle from Verizon did not come yet.
Super excited to play with it and get my Samsung...
I really want to preorder the Samsung battery backpack for my s7e but I want to know how great the battery life is on the phone before I go spending $100 on a crappy case with a heavy battery that'll only give me a 50% charge.
Post results!
How are you people getting your phones so soon? They aren't supposed to be delivered until March 11th.
Also is anyone else going to choose the Gear S2 watch over the Gear VR? It's basically twice the price.
Some people don't have $300 to spend on a phone all at once. $27 a month is a lot more affordable to people living with less than $1000 in their bank at any given time. And trust me, there's a lot more of those people than people who can afford $300 phones plus the monthly plan fees. It opens up...
Some providers are offering a "Galaxy Forever" option that allows you to upgrade to the new galaxy device every 12 months. The catch is you never own the device. I'm not a huge fan of leases. My current phone is an s3 that I picked up the week it released. My phone before that was an HTC...
I've got an untouched and never turned on galaxy s3 in mint condition with the plastic still on the screen I'll sell you for $65 shipped if you're interested.
I preordered my S7 edge this morning through Verizon and paid the full price. I'm grandfathered with unlimited data and I don't really see ever giving that up especially when most major US based cellular companies are getting rid of the two year contract subsidy.
One concern I have is that the...
I recently upgraded from an Italian version of the Logitech g15 v2 keyboard to a new corsair k70 rgb. Took a day to get used to the key sensitivity but good God damn does it type. I'd vouch for the k70 in a heartbeat. Also screw black Friday. It used to be great. Now they start the deals on...
Good news. Too impatient to wait for RMA. Went to local b&m and picked up an EVGA 980ti Classified. Made it all the way through unigine heaven without error. Going to test some games now. Looks like it might have been the card.
Received DP cable. Tried everything. Ended up RMA'ing the video card. Started a thread in video card section of [H]. WIll update when the new card gets here.
Thanks dude. Fingers crossed. I got in touch with newegg live chat and they put a "rush order" on the replacement process which switched my 3-5 day return shipping to next day delivery. Still love newegg.
I picked up Windows 10 pro because my volume licensed dvd copy of Windows 7 enterprise didn't have a usable cd key. Also dx12. So far Windows 10 feels great, but it's only been a couple of days.
I'm very curious to know whether this would have resolved my problems or if my card was just defective. If the situation repeats itself, I suppose a bios mod may be in order if the PSU is determined to be in good working order.
I'm just hoping it's not a software issue or a hardware conflict. Going to run prime 95 (v27.9) to check cpu now.
Is there a recommended software to test psu?
Card is in a box, dropped off to UPS, and on it's way home and hopefully to the graveyard. Thanks for all the replies [H]. I'll post back and resurrect this thread once the new card arrives.
p.s.
Thank you silent-circuit for all the build help in the past with the previous pc's in my sig...
I picked up a displayport cable. No change to crashing behavior. I disabled streaming in GFE, tested with both sticks of ram pulled individually, played with precision x by increasing voltage and down-clocking. Still no change. The PSU is brand new and yes I know it can be the source of the...
Yea i was just reading that I'd have to flash the GPU bios. I think I'm going to wait for the displayport cable, and if that doesn't fix it, and at this point I don't think it will, then I'll RMA the card.
Ah the joys of building from scratch. At least it's not the mobo.
It's interesting...
Ok... so I just reinstalled precision x and turned up the voltage slightly which did nothing at stock clock settings. Then I turned the stock clocks down as much as I could and set the power target at the lowest possible setting and I made it through a full loop of unigine heaven.
Any idea what...
I have a feeling the cable is the problem even though I've tried two different HDMI cables and an HDMI to DVI. I remember my u3011 having an issue with anything but a displayport cable in the past. Unfortunately my old 6870 used a mini displayport to display which the 980ti doesn't have a port...
Well, the newest driver with -90mhz on gpu clock allowed me to get the furthest into unigine heaven. I'll go back to the newest driver and try down-clocking the gpu and mem.
*edit*
With -90mhz on the gpu clock and -200 mhz on the memory clock, the computer doesn't black screen and lock up...
Not stable in unigine with the -90mhz gpu downclock from stock settings. Not stable with latest nvidia drivers installed with hd audio and 3d vision drivers unchecked from installation.
Forgot to mention I'm on Windows 10 Pro
Whole slew of different errors from the gfx card it looks like.

I just built this new pc.
Specs:
i7 6700k
evga 980ti hybrid
corsair vengeance 16gb

I am getting this NVLDDKM error 4000 times in the last 24 hours. The computer works fine browsing youtube etc. When I try to play a game, the screen sometimes turns black for a...
The resolution was 1920x1200 and the refresh rate was set to 59 with the option to set to 60 but it wouldn't save when I selected 60hz.
I have since switched the hdmi cable for an hdmi to dvi and the problem has not persisted but now the display driver is crashing on the video card.
I am...
So windows boots up fine. It was stable for 12 hours doing regular stuff. I played day z standalone for 4 hours with no issues. Today I try playing ARK / World of Tanks / Battlefield Bad Company 2, and after a few minutes, the monitor goes into standby and says "The refresh rate is not supported...
