Most of the time I get that problem it's because the card is tilted down a little in the back from fiddling with something and the front of the card lifts up out of the slot a tad and loses contact.

I remove all eraser and insulation from the board last night, then tried compressed air from all angles to clean it out. Haven't tried it yet but hopefully that will do it. If not, either off to pep boys or I'll just try using rubbing alcohol.

Actually, I am not a big drinker (unfortunately : ) I have several bottles of good single malt, and then a good bottle of other whiskey varieties for guests, even though we seldom have guests

the bottle I described yesterday is half full (no, not half empty ) and I've had it over a year.

So, still time to make your way to Chicago for some good sippin whiskey brothers :

I thought of the tilted thingy because as you know the lightning with a fat boy is extremely heavy, and with board insulation, sometimes difficult to seat correctly.

but I ran startups with the air cooled card in every concievable position (well, except 69 of course : ) Even held it at different angles to no avail.

Maybe today

tried it on the off chance...

debug goes through the boot up routine and gets up to
98 - console input devices connect
99 - Super IO Initialization

but when the monitor sets itself to the input I have the card on it drops back to

A2 - IDE Detect
34 - (32-36 = CPU post memory initialization)
AE - Legacy boot event

sometimes goes on to

AA - system has transitioned to AHPI mode
but windows never loads

any ideas?

off to pep boys soon

All i can think of now is that maybe you tightened the pot down to hard and when it froze the board cracked or something to that effect. I honestly don't think it needs cleaning. But wth. Might as well try. Personally i think the board is fk'd. RMA time.

I actually tightened the pot down less than I usually. Hope you're wrong, they just shipped my P67 today

I'll let ya know in a few hours

Think you pinned it Duke but not positive.

At the beginning of the session, all was running pretty well, then after about 3 hours or so I started having problems, so I shut down and found the CPU waaay looser than I normally run it. So I tightened it down some more :dumbshit: on the frozen board.

Slot two still works fine but slot one keeps haning on 34

Don't waste time with RMA. Just use the other slot - it'll give you more room anyway.

Or bake it.
