Topic: Anybody had trouble with the ASUS Crosshair V Formula mobo + BAMT? (Read 1232 times)
I have an MSI 880G-E45 that would run BAMT for a couple of hours then crash HARD. The last time it crashed it corrupted the BIOS. That same set up has been running CGMiner for 4 months with no problems. Just the luck of the draw I guess.

Hi all. In my continuing efforts to track down why I just can't leave my goddamn miners alone for more than a day without one or more of them packing up, I've come to realise that the mobos are about the only variable left.
One of my rigs has some cheap-ass motherboard, the brand/model of which I forget at the mo. That rig generally runs for a week or more at a time, and if it crashes, it generally manages to reboot automatically and successfully, and carry on. The other two rigs each have the Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard. The boards cost me £170 each, I bought them as the cheapest I could find with four full-length PCIe slots. It's these two rigs that just can't effing stay up, and I want you to tell me why not!
These boards seem to be designed for hardcore gamers, and they have a whole lotta bios options for overclocking. I don't know what any of those mean. I have reset all the bios options to the factory default, except for the one I need to change for BAMT's sake - something about making a USB stick get treated like a hard disk drive. Each mobo has an 'overclock' button and for some reason, that button needs to be switched ON or the rig cannot boot up at all.
Can anyone shed light on what's up? Preferably other peeps who have this actual board?
