Hi,
I am replying to all, not used to sitting in the dark with the light of the
notebook to type only, Out here in the sticks there are always power
failures when it rains. I normally use pop, not used to gmail., the mobo is
two years old a midrange board with SATA 6 and USB 3.0, an ASUS, I also
thought it was the Ocean air and humidity but my other ASUS mobo has no
hassles. I have enough lightining protection to protect I dpn't know what
and always unplug before storm, I think I was naughty when I fist received
the board and overclocked it from 2.8 to 3.8 even though the temps where
fine ans I have a fantastic Zalman aftercooler. devede ran quite stable a
sdid prime sorry for the s[peeling my UPS is about to go flat
Well, that was rather rambling, but to me is sounds like there is a
fault in your motherboard. My guess is the heat from your hairdryer
(how did you figure that out anyway?!) either dries out some bit that
overly sensitive to moisture, or causes thermal expansion of some part
that does not make enough contact otherwise... although in the second
case, it should be more about ambient temperature, not about if there
was a rain storm.
Two years old, huh? So the warranty is.probably well over. I would say
just get a new Mobo.
