I tried running my 2600k under LN2 with a frozen GTX 580 Lightning today but couldn't get it to post - no matter what I did.

Worked fine yesterday

Used a different CPU pot today and am thinking that's what caused it somehow. Keeps hanging up at 34, which is "CPU post memory initialization" (32 - 36). Anyone have any ideas?

Going to try it on water just to finish the running of the lightning (since my mf phase is down again

dunno maybe you were too cold, should need more than -30c no gain colder

34 if I recall correctly means IN BIOS or Boot Device Selection Menu.
Your VGA is slackin' probably.

Doesn't it have the error codes in the manual ?

CPU post memory initialization"

That could mean anything. Water in the socket, too cold. Frost dripping down the memory. Sounds like its too cold to me. Get out the torch!!!

We need a torch smiley.

DOM - yup, and if you look at the first post it tells ya what the book says, "CPU post memory initialization" (32 - 36)

Sorry Duke, I was writing while you were posting. I found out what it means...

HOwever, the cigar seems to go to the cute little robot dude that mentioned a VGA problem

I put on an HSF and an air cooled card to make it easier to move shit. I shut off pcie lane 1 and put the card in 2 - after a little fine tuning it booted just fine. So I turned 1 back on and tried it in lane 1, and locked up on 34.

Knowing what the problem probably was because that slot had been prepped for sub zero, I cleaned it out the best I could with compressed air and tried it again. Now, it either sticks on 34, or, finishes the boot by going to AE and then AA. Problem is, never get any pic after AA

Either I'm going to kill myself tonight, or, all that good scotch will be gone long before you get near chicago BZ : The former sounds pretty fucking inviting right about now

Seems to me there is a way to correct this problem using a dishwasher and a clothes dryer with the shoe rack installed. Can anyone give me the details on how this works? I know Supes wrote it up once but that was a long time ago.

NEVER had this kind of problems before ... doesn't help the damned SS died the same fuckin day

Scotch, here I come!!!

Would appreciate any and all help so I don't make it worse (if that's even possible) I REALLY don't want to have to RMA this board

Have you tried just booting on air at stock settings?
Or just use a dry pot . Only long enough to get into windoze. it wont hurt it.

[Witchdoctor]

you have the extra pcie juice plugged in

just slap any card in to get #1 working ....

Yeah Bro, hasn't been frozen since last night. Didn't see any condensate problems after the shut down but this shit started earlier today. Actually, it was frozen this morning, but never booted.

been working on it with an HSF and air cooled card for the last hour. Think I see what looks like a small amount of vaseline in the slot, which got me thinking of the dishwasher routine.

Any other thoughts? a hair dryer maybe?
