Hiya
I did make another thread a few days ago but I thought I'd post in here seeing as it's specifically for motherboards. Hopefully someone with some expertise in this area will spot something.
When I to power on the CPU red LED stays lit, the amber HD activity light stays lit, and none of the other motherboard lights turn on (there are usually a number that go green).
Randomly, (like 1/20 tries) the system will POST. CPU, RAM, Boot device, and VGA LEDs will light in sequence as they should, HD light doesn't stay lit amber, other motherboard lights are lit green. THis is without changing any settings at all.
Clearing CMOS does nothing.
I have ROG connected on another PC, are there any settings I can preload to try and boot or will it not work anyway?
I have an AMD Phenom X4 955 black edition, with 2x2GB Corsair 1600Mhz 1.65v rated RAM. My PSU is 650w Antec True Power crossfire compliant.
When I randomly got this PC to boot yesterday it stayed on from around 10am to 1am when I shut it off. On other days it's the samge, once it boots it will stay on for hours on end running totally stable under Prime95 and at acceptable temperatures under load.
If it stays stable this long could it be the motherboard itself that has issues and not my components? Should I RMA?
Here is a thread I am posting in on Asus site:

EDIT: ROG on the other PC just shows 'CPU Intital'
