Hi, I came home last night to find my EP45-DS3R machine dead.
Pressing the power button did nothing.
I pulled the power from the wall, plugged it back in, pressed the power button, fan starts and stops, press power again, and system starts.
After logging in the Intel Storage manager says it is checking my boot RAID volume.
I looked in the NT eventlog and the system has restarted 6 times in about an hour, and then I guess not restarted.
I left the RAID check to complete during the night and day.
I came back home tonight and the system is dead again.
This time it does not want to start.
If I pull the plug, the press the power button, the case fans and PSU fan just starts to run the almost immediately stops.
Unlike before I can now not get the box to power on.
The system is:
GA-EP45-DS3R, F10 BIOS
Intel Q9650 3GHz Quad Core
4 x 2GB Mushkin XP2-8500
Saphire ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
4 x 500GB Seagate
120GB RAID10 (OS), 800GB RAID10 (Data)
Vista Ultimate x64 SP1
The system runs 24x7 and it has been running stable like this for about 2 months.
I set the power profile to high performance to prevent the system from going to sleep, since it sometimes does not wake up from sleep. The S3 resume bug is supposedly fixed in the F10 BIOS, but I don't think so.
I would really appreciate your guidance on how to troubleshoot?
