Um, 200 won't do anything... 600C is still not enough to melt the average Al alloy.. I'm betting the "sofy Al" is silcon or something... Even Tin is 230ish

I'm almost certain you've got an issue from the physical aspect of moving, not the heat.

I packed the case inside the original antec box with the nice packing material it came with.
The pc was the only thing that did not get on the moving trucks.
I took extra care with it, if I did damage something, what could it be?
Thanks all

Did you remove all internal components? Are you sure that they didnt rattle around inside the sockets causing them to damage the mobo?

Make sure you got all the peanut packing removed.

You left the PC in your car sitting upright. Take the heatsink off and use a magnify glass to look for stress cracks around the mounting holes.

Maybe the packing had a buildup of static electricity and damaged your memory.

Here is an update:... ( sorry in advance for grammer, I'm doing all this from my iPhone)

removed every component from the case.
Set up a station on my coffee table.
Tested each memory stick individually, all are either good or bad since each gave same result.
Tested the two different color ram slots, white gives error codes, orange slots seem fine.
( see pics for the above )
testes with and withoud hard drive connected, same results.
Tested different pci-e slots, same results.
There is no noticable physical damage to any component to the naked eye.
My hard drive makes no noise.... But to the touch, something is moving in the casing, lol.
My vigor monsoon is creating cooler air than my swamp cooler... but that's a good thing right!
What else... I will edit when I think of it, here are a few pics of my lost time.

So when your memory is in the Orange slots everything is working?

If I'm not mistaken the Orange slots are the recommended slots to use. But if the White slots are bad you should RMA the mobo anyways.

Yes, you should be able to see the bios with no drive installed as far as I know.
