Solved Random Freezes, BSOD, error 0x116

[Baasha]

Baasha, were you able to get this resolved?

No, I am in fact still waiting on a replacement board from ASUS. They said one should be shipped out to me this week.

I will update this thread once I have the board and can test it to make sure everything is working well.

I'm sorry to hear that Baasha. Did you RMA GPU #2 as well? You said you could not get that one to post in any of the PCIe lanes. This could indicate a bad GPU. While you are waiting on the MoBo, you might as well, right? Let us know how things go.

All four GPUs were able to POST and worked fine; I was able to run benchmarks on them. The monitor turning off (going to sleep) and forced hard-reboots were happening randomly and with more frequency.

The last time I tried to make the system work, I was in the BIOS to make sure all the settings were correct and the computer locked up; black screen and another forced reboot.

I received the new RMA from ASUS (a different board - same model) and set up everything yesterday evening. Ran benchmarks, played some games, and even OC'd the CPU and GPU. The system runs great now!

So, this "issue" is resolved! It was a bad motherboard all along; wish ASUS sent me a new board to begin with - it would have saved me about four weeks of anxiety!

Thanks for your help!
