I had a working ASUS Maximus VI Gene mobo with an Intel i7 4770 3.7ghz LGA1150 processor, 8GB of “Sniper” DIMMs, eVGA Geforce GTX650 Ti video card.
I am running an “alternative” [hackintosh] OS on it and it worked great for a year or so. Recently it started feeling the pain of booting, taking 5 minutes before the machine was operable, and it had been crashing regularly with no warning — just a solid black screen with with I’d have to cold boot to start up again. I decided it was time to update the OS to a more recent build [HS/moj], use a SSD as my main boot drive, and add new RAM.
It took me 15 different installs to get a working OS.
Unfortunately it didn’t last long. In the last two days, before the BIOS loaded, I got a series of CPU overheating errors. I decided to take off the CPU fan to see if it was actually cooling anything. The plastic standoffs broken when I tried to remove it, so I left it as close to the CPU as possible. The machine keeps throwing error codes like crazy: 53 with no RAM, 60 with RAM in any of the slots [DXE Core is started], 36 [CPU post-memory initialization], 47 [DXE IPL is started], then reboots.
I tried new RAM: G.SKILL F3-12800CL10D-16gb [2x 8GB DIMMs], DDR3-1600. I also installed a new EVO Hyper212 CPU CoolerMaster heatsink / fan design — unfortunately it’s physically impossible to install into DIMM slot 1 without removing the heatsink fan and forcing it.
More approaches:
* Removed / unplugged everything except PSU. Error Code 53
* Installed 1 DIMM in Slot 1: Error codes: 21, 4F, 36 / 3B, 60
* Removed CR2032 battery, measured .13V [out of 3V] — the battery has since been replaced
I’m stumped. I don’t want to throw in the towel but also can’t figure out how to move ahead.
Any ideas?
