It was really strange. First the Asus M5A99X EVO randomly failed to 
boot, then it just stopped at the CPU test LED. I always thought this 
could be fixed by Asus, but I did not ask for services and just 
bought/upgraded to a better motherboard.

OTOH, I still got a Asrock E350M1 kicking. It also belonged to that cold 
era of AMD history.
