I'm starting to wonder if I have a defective Asus Rampage VI Extreme motherboard or if possibly the motherboard needs to be completely reset by clearing the RTC data. I've tried unplugging power supply and clearing CMOS with the "Clear CMOS Button". I've tried downgrading BIOS to version 1004 with same results. Several sensors in HWInfo such as the CPU Wattage and the memory timing info in CPU-Z are not showing correct info. Also, in AIDA64 Extreme 5.95, the program will crash every time after 3 seconds when I run a memory stress test. Windows does not crash, only the AIDA64 Extreme program. Memory tests fine when using MemTest86.
Does anyone have any ideas of what is causing this to happen? Also, is there a way to clear the "Real Time Clock" without removing the battery on this motherboard? Battery seems to be hidden under the plastic armor which looks like I would have to remove motherboard out of case to get to it.
