Hi,
I built a system comprising of 32gb vengence lpx ddr4 ram, i9 9900k, maximus hero xi, 750w cooler master psu, samsung pro evo ssd and a couple of previous hdd's from my old system. The system worked fine for about a week then crashed playing a game. It then booted to bios and then froze. I could no longer get to bios after that. I completed various tests (cmos reset, bios flash, booting with 1 stick of ram and no hdd's etc) and speaking to ASUS they advised me to RMA the board. I tried the new motherboard and got exactly the same errors and it wouldnt post which led me to the conclusion that it must be the cpu. I returned the cpu to the retailer within 30 days and they are telling me it will take up to 28 days to test the cpu. Does anyone have any advice as this time frame seems excessive to test the cpu. Thanks.
