R5e error 61 nightmare

[Bbr81]

Hi, any advice to help is welcome.

I have a Asus r5e, 5930k, 32gb corsair vengeance 3200mhz ram, 2x980ti,. M2 drive.

This has all worked on air, overclocked on air.
Moved to water Cooling on all items, CPU monoblock, ram gpu's. Everything worked fine and worked fine overclocked. CPU, ram and gpu's overclocked and working.

Then one day my system hangs at windows splash screen and I get error 61. Restarting from a sleep.

I've tried, clear cos, old bios, newest bios. Rebuilt and reseat everything. Different gpu. One stick of ram at a time, in different slots, 4 pieces of 8gb. Different settings, default, auto, different voltages, different frequencies. Clear cmos.

Still always get error 61 and freeze. Sometimes get messed up blue screen.

I'm going to RMA this board, only 1 month old.

Does this sound normal for such an expensive board?

Are you seeing b1 or 61?

I think you were probably running a ragged Overclock and murphy has just come round and bit you.

If you are using a 125Mhz strap and a static overclock you could try twitching on speedstep, it may get you past windows boot then test your systems systability.

And/or tone back the Ram speed to 2800Mhz and perhapos your CPU overclock some too.

But it sounds normal for THIS board yes. lol

If you have flashed the bios then I guess the problem is not the overclock since it should have been reset. Try a different CPU if possible... Maybe some problem with new cooling system prooduced overheat and you got a component damaged in the changing process...

Hi

I have found the error to be the CPU.
It is faulty and if I disable core2 in the bios, the computer works fine!!

RMA it then.

When you RMA it Dont say you were overclocking when it happened 😛
