Well, after three months of little use of the computer (about 8 hours straight at night) it seems that the power supply has gone bad.

Emailed Tech support at Silverstone to see if they can help.

Will be posting the news shortly.

Seems that the Power Supply is OK. I think the motherboard or memory modules. Will check as soon as I have some time.

I'm not sure, but I think the H8QGL-6F just can't handle the AMD series 6300 cpu's, specifically the 6386SE that are 140W TDP. On Friday or Saturday I will take the board apart and test with only one CPU and memory as Tech Support at Super Micro told me to and see what happens.

I emailed Super micro to see in they can donate a 4U chassis that will fit the motherboard and two GPUs. Still awaiting an answer from them. If I don't get the chassis donation I might just have to forget about the Super Micro motherboard and go with a 2 CPU ASUS motherboard and place one GPU on each and see if that resolves the problem of the motherboard going bad. Will need to contact ASUS for a board donation if Super Micro  does not pull through.

Contacted Super Micro tech support for the RMA due that the board will not boot and a chip sparked. awaiting an answer.

Got the RMA. Will be shipping the board out Friday. Super Micro is just a great company to deal with!!
