I then tried their latest one which added 'stability fixes' for the board (its a beta) on top of the more CPUs support from the previous board. I re-did it with the latest stable bios, but had issues. I realized, after checking Asus' forum, that I may not have followed their recommendations for flashing the BIOS correctly when I flashed it. In fact, I had that dam blinking light for about 6mos until I was just about to throw it out the window. The second one appeared to be previously used and had alot of these same issues you experienced. The first was brand new and once I set it up it went smoothly until the craptacular liquid cooler blew and killed my video card and board (thankfully, everything else seemed fine). If I do replace the motherboard what should I replace it with? I was going to buy an identical one but it is discontinued on Newegg. Any ideas? Could this be a faulty motherboard? It is the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3.0. Could the on-board processor be the reason for the system crashes? I updated all the chipset drivers, and when the problem was still new I even updated the BIOS. At one point the computer was pretty filthy so the temperature of the motherboard and CPU could have climbed and caused damage then.ĭoes any of this sound like a motherboard problem? It is the only part that has not been changed out for a good one. It also restarted randomly while booting up after sitting the entire night, which means it is definitely not a heating issue, or not any more. Out of all of these components it is still randomly freezing up, so could it be the only thing I haven't changed? I checked CPU temp just to make sure it wasn't a heating issue, and it crashed while it was only 30 degrees Celsius. So far this is the list of what is definitely NOT the problem: I have started replacing hardware with good hardware to see if there is any change. I did replace the RAM and it made no difference.
I am not very experienced with computer problems so any help is much appreciated!!! The brand of RAM is G.Skill's F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM. Could this mean bad RAM, or is the LED a signal for all kinds of different problems? No difference between them though, the LED just kept flashing. How do I know what the problem is? I thought it may have been that I had a bad RAM stick, so I removed both of the 2GB sticks and tried each one by itself. I looked at the motherboard to see the red DRAM LED flashing. The case fans came on, but the CPU heat sink fan did not. I held the power button down until it turned off, then I pressed it again to see if it would boot up. I hit the reset button but it did not work. When I turned on the computer, using the motherboard's internal video card, it got to the desktop before freezing up. After trouble shooting a bit I decided to remove my video card to see what would happen (my reasoning was because the display became distorted right before it went to the blue screen). These issues usually happened at what seemed to be random times during usage, could be within 10 minutes or after an hour of normal operation. My computer would either freeze up, randomly restart, or blue screen from time to time.
I use the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3.0 motherboard.
