Has RVE just killed my 1000+ EUR i7-5960X CPU ? All worked ok until I upgraded my motherboard to latest BIOS 3501. Now it won't boot anything. Not MacOSX (hackintosh), Linux, Windows, etc. Not even using a Linux installation USB disk. I have tried different RAM combinations, reset BIOS, downgraded to 3402, nothing. I can get to BIOS but then it gets stuck at different points before I manage to load an OS e.g. upto microcode for CPU 11 for the Linux installer case (but q code is AA). Used another 5960X with the Rampage V, it works. Used the (now) mulfunctioning CPU in another known-to-work motherboard (Gigabyte) it does NOT work. It seems that the CPU is the problem.
Can I do anything ?*
