Please post here if your motheboard died with a Phenom II X6

Hmm... I would tell you to do other things, but you probably beat me to it. I'm just confused since the board looks just fine. So it boots and cycles and won't POST. Have you tried the POST without a graphics card in? Maybe using on-board?

Yep, done both. It's the motherboard. The fact that it immediately powers down like there's a short when you plug in the 4-pin auxilliary power connector whether the CPU is installed or not kind of elminates everything else.

Another death (well too early to tell, but I'm willing to bet money):

Don't know what "clip" and "rubber things" he's talking about but uninsulated metal on either side of the board is bad news ...

He's talking about the double-sided tape that holds the bracket for the H50 in place. It's not needed and the bracket is plastic. It's not the cause of the problem.

Confirmed dead:
