Oof. I get F9 pretty frequently when overclocking RAM so perhaps there is a glimmer of hope, but it sounds like you've done some exhaustive troubleshooting. Perhaps re-seating the CPU may help?

Oh, and what game were you playing when you punched your desk?

Ok guys i've managed to make PC work and have got it running for some time until issue repeated again.
Seems like the A2 ram slot on my CH7 hero is dodgy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... any problems if i use B1 A1 slots?

I tried using the other RAM slots once and it didn't seem anywhere close to booting 3600MHz. So maybe you can get away with it if you're not running demanding RAM. It seems like such an odd problem to be caused by hitting a desk.

Maybe you can get lucky and get Asus to Rma it. I would try that then get rid of it for a good board from someone like Asrock or Giga so you won't have issues in the future.
