Hey all, I have a AsrockRack EPC612D8 that decided to not post today after replacing the e5-2678v3 with an eBay e5-2690v4 (it previously had another v4 before the 2678 so don't think it's a BIOS incompatability). Here's the sequence of events:
IPMI (v7.25) has mostly worked the entire time, but won't start java session and not able to power on machine. Green LED near the "BMC" wording on the motherboard blinks slowly ~20 sec after power is applied.
The lit LAN2 LED is suspicious. Can't find any mention of that anywhere.
Did this CPU fry my motherboard? Any other ideas? I did use a bit much CPU paste on the v4 but it wasn't in contact with anything other than the top of the CPU.
- remove v3, install 2690v4
- boots to post code 53 (manual says memory/cpu issue, clear the cmos)
- pulled cmos battery for 1 min
- attempt to boot, no post no codes, no nothing. but the LAN2 LED is on
- pulled cmos battery for 10 min
- same thing (no POST, LAN2 LED on)
- put v3 back in, same thing (no POST, LAN2 LED on)
- let sit with cmos battery out for ~1hr, no change
