PSUs both test out very well under zero load. 12v was 12 or 12.2, 5v was all 5s, an 3.3v was all 3.4v.......on both PSUs. Old ass Enermax EG701AX-VE, and Corsair TX850.
The board is always fully screwed down, but gently of course, to a removable mobo tray that came out of a case. That is screwed to a plywood base. I don't see how there could be a grounding issue.
The boards worked perfectly screwed to another tray that I took out of another case and sitting on a stool.
It's sure got me thinking.
Maybe these boards were all just ready to die, or perhaps the cold weather transport? They both booted right up and went to BIOS then Windows np at all.
Yes I'm beating this horse to death here, but I really want to play some more and I'm scared to hook up another old LP board. I'm afraid I'll break it and then I will be mad as hell.
Next up is the brand new looking with nothing opened, and a perfect box, obviously hardly used Ultra-D, that I didn't even want to take out of the box. The guy tested it before he shipped it since it had been in storage awhile so I believe it works.
I'll grow the hair to try again while I sleep I'm sure.
