Just before I read your update,another one went out Cry

So,I shut the last one off to save it until we know whats up.......................

Are you getting magic smoke or burned surface components that damage the pcb? That's the main thing I could see causing the repairs to be difficult.

Nope,no smoke,no burned components,thank god....I worked with Steamboat assembling units & he showed me some boards that had solder overrun,missedplaced parts,etc.

I see nothing wrong physically with these boards.I'm no expert,but I have built several hundred high end gaming PC's in the past 14 years & have seen ALOT of screw-ups from the factory.....none are visible here Wink

Yeah, its very odd. I have dealt with blades in HPC for years, and seen numerous burned out components. I also handled documenting the failures and sending them back to my home company for repair. PCB repair can be a real pain if the components burn, which involves drilling the board and rebuilding each layer, which can be a pain if the traces burn far. I'm curious to see what evidence of this has occurred, although electronics repair is not my expertise. I'd love to hear what Barntech says or someone with more experience with multilayer pcb repair.

If they are easily repairable, that would make me more apt to want to run my boards.
