> does anyone have a rational explanation ...

 

Obviously, I do not.

 

IMHO, if an out-of-warranty motherboard no longer is working perfectly, it's time to replace the motherboard, or to replace the entire computer.  Such is our society, with its "planned obsolescence" of consumer products.

 

One can only spend so much time tilting at windmills. :indifferent:

I asked for a RATIONAL explanantion, not why a six year old computer would behave uncharacteristilcally as such a young age.  I just need some help.  If you're incapable of nothing more than lame humor then don't bother getting involved.  Is that simple enough?

I know it's an a year old post. But I have the same problem or even worse. 

 

One of my laptops, HP Proboot 6570b i5-3210M, won't wake up from hybernation the other day. It powered up, fan spun, and hard drive clicking, but no post. I had to play around the laptop and eventually to get it to boot by installing a 2GB DDR3 ram only. It did the same thing as yours. I then switched this CPU with another CPU i5-3320M from my Dell Latitude E6430. With this switch, it booted with 2GB or 8GB DDR3 ram sticks without any issue. Then the Dell exibited the same behaviou with this i5-3210M from the HP - booted with a 2GB RAM only. But upon the 2nd boot, I noticed an automatic driver download and update banner showed up and saying there are 3 driver updates for CPU i5-3210M. After that, I can load 2GB or 4GB or 8GB ram sticks on this machine without any problem. I never knew there are drivers for CPU! It sounds like somrthing happened to the CPU's internal memory controller. 

 

Recently, my mother's desktop MSI Z87-G41 with an i7-4770 suddenly quit working one day. It powered up, fan spun, and hard drive clicking, but no post.  I played the same trick by swapping the CPU out. I replaced the i7-4770 LGA-1150 with a Pentium G3320 LGA-1150. The desktop booted ever since. But I tried this i7-4770 on two different machine withs the same results without any luck. No matter what kind of memory combination I tried, it just won't post. Any insides? Thanks, Josh
