USB controller lockup
« on: August 16, 2009, 04:52:33 PM »
This is a 1st for me, Computer will not finish loading on boot. Freezes at USB controller initialization. Appears no way around since its before bios access. Board is an Asus P5K-e, PS and all else check out just fine.

Anyone with any experience on this?

I went ahead and grabbed a GB board but when I cobbled stuff back together I got a further surprise. The new MB won't boot. "Code" is a continuous set of short beeps which indicates a power issue? Since PS is good is this a CPU gone bad? I've been assuming that the problem is a bad chip on MB till now....can a bad CPU show in this way. I lost my rudder pedals in FSO Friday and it locked up when I went to boot up for scenario on Sat....

can you not remove the battery or reset the CMOS so it loads the default BIOS settings?

just a thought......maybe you already done this

could it be one of those Trojans that inserts themselves into your memory?  We experienced one of them one time, had to use "Memory Washer", "trojan remover", "regscrubxp" and "your uninstaller 2008" to completely clean her out of the computer...( think it was "trojan remover" and "regscrubxp" that did the trick )

wish ya luck , snap

Looks like a bad CPU, under warranty still so will RMA to Intel. 1st time I've had a stock CPU fail on a quality board with good PS....picked up a E6300 to put in for now....curious what Intel will ship me back....
