I would reconsider plugging in a new CPU into that board till you can diagnose the problem.
No, I don't plan onjust plugging in a new CPU. Although that said, after pulling the board and reseating the CPU, and firing it up outside the case. I not real sure where to go from there. I could use a few pointers.
The way it froze up was a little wierd. Not all at once, and after waking it up.
I've got spare PSU's to make sure that isn't the issue and spare graphic cards, but that's it when it comes to this build. I have a ton of spare 1366 stuff.
I've been doing alot of thinking and if I do upgrade the CPU, it'll either be a used 6950 or 6900, but probably not. My ultimate goal over the next few months will be to upgrade to the x299 platform for the 1080ti's and replace the my Rampage III with the R5E10. I've got 3 GTX970's and a decent watercooling setup for that rig, which will be for my son to use. I think it's a better match up of hardware anyway.
I'm also waiting to see what happens in a couple of months with the new graphic card releases.
