Your MB & PSU specs are perfect, wish I had a seasonic, I run normal risers which is not recommended, but my rig is doing fine without.

That sounds like there was a poor connection between riser and card or riser and MB, the cool thing is if this ever happens again, you’ll know that you must go over everything 10 times.

Yes its a very nice PSU and MB - except I had to return the first PSU as it blown the house fuse! Sparks from behind the power cord plug. Seems like QC failed on that unit. But the replacement works.

I don’t think it was a bad connection as I did remove and replaced cards without luck, but your right, everything must be checked and rechecked.
