X79 motherboard problem. I think it is dead!

[insipid]

Asrock x79 extreme9 

I7  3820 stock clocks 

2*evga 770 so in sli

Corsair H115 

32gb gskill 1866 ddr3 4*8gb 

2*250gb 840 evo 1 for os and the other for games

2*3tb seagates for storage no raid

Seasonic X1050 80 plus gold

 

The problem started out of nowhere. Shutdown routinely one night and came back the next day to a no post situation. 

 

   The mb doesn't get through post. Stops at code 19 no matter what I do. I bought a new bios chip and the only thing that changed was that after it sits stuck at code 19 for approximately 20 seconds,the fans on the 1 gpu that was installed went to full speed. Weird! I have taken the mb out of the case (phanteks enthoo primo) and hooked up to a different power supply with just the 24 pin and 8 pin connected and no ram or gpu. Nothing changed. I have tried every combination of hardware in and out that there is and nothing changes. Used all sticks of ram 1 at a time in different slots and various combinations thereof and no changes. 

 

  At this point I am thinking that the mb is dead. Or the cpu has a bad memory controller. The only thing I have not done is get a brand new 2032 bios battery. I did changes it out with the one in my key fob. As it is not  brand new,  I don't know if it is outputting the the correct voltage. I know some motherboards are picky on that issue.

 

 Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

01 - 54 (except 0d), 5A- 60

Problem related to memory. Please re-install the CPU and memory then clear CMOS. If the problem still exists, please install only one memory module or try using other memory modules.

it might also be your cpu so try reinstalling it.
