Blown part on motherboard causing memory issues!

[KristopherF]

Hi all,

So I have a setup which has been giving me BSODs for a number of years, and no matter what I did I could never fix it, however I have found the culprit and its hardware related

All the errors are related to memory, and they range from memory_management to page fold errors.

I have 64gb of 1600ram and a gigabyte x79-ud5.

When I first rated it a number of years ago with memtest there were some errors but only after a long period.

The other day I took the whole machine apart and cleaned it all out and when doing so I discovered a charred area on the back of the motherboard and I think it's a part related to one of the ram slots.

So now I'm at the stage where I know I need a new motherboard, but the issue it my 3930k is not the new v3 socket and I really don't want to buy a new cpu on top of things, so I wanted to ask of a good reliable motherboard which has a good number of USB 3 and data 3 ports as well as pci slots and of course 8 ram slots supporting 64gb or more.

Any ideas? I haven't tried removing some of the ram to see if simply removing chips which relate to that component bypasses it all together, I might but I'm worried it could cause knock on issues with hardware, however it hasn't in 4 years.

See photo!

well i think its time for a mobo cuz its not like a blown capasitor or resistor which someone can replace the lines on the board are damaged a lot well i cant really tell clean it the black thing with some alchohol on a piece of toilet paper and repost of photo so we can see the real damage

Tho i would check more cuz i might not be the mobo fault maybe on overloaded powersupply ? bad contacts ? or shorting on the case if your going to replace it check some things
