Is there any reason a AMD 64 X2 6400 balck box edition and OCZ DDR2 800/6400 RAM won't work with an AN9 board?
I got my RMA'ed AN9 back and I am having the same problems, the only good thing is it is actually beeping now, when I have only the CPU plugged in it beeps so that means the mobo and CPU are OK right? I am starting to wonder if I have more than one problem.
I tried the RAM in every config, 1 and 2 sticks each slot etc. and the screen is blank and no beeps.
I cleared the CMOS once and it gave continuos beeps, from what I can tell that means bad RAM the only problem is I can't get it to beep again even after clearing the CMOS.
With two sticks of RAM in slots 1 and 2 it always stops on POST code C5 according to the LED output.
Tested the monitor and also tried a PCI video card.
If anyone can help you have no idea how much appreciated that would be, I really need to get this stupid PC up and running.
There is a 4 pin connector on the board next to slot 1 PCI-E, that's just for SLI right, do I need to plug into that even when not SLI'ed?
UPDATE:
OK, I tried it again with the PCI card, totally cleared the CMOS, and now it still has a blank screen but it has three second long continuous beeps after multiple resets (memory), I put the GeForce 8800 back in and it doesn't beep even after clearing the CMOS.
I am confused, is there something I am missing with the 8800, the 6 pin power is plugged in, could I have bad memory and a bad video? I don't get why it beeps with the PCI card but not the 8800, if it were just video then I would think the PCI card would work.
Also, if it were just bad sticks of RAM wouldn't I still get something on the screen? I tried with individual sticks.
I can't believe this crap, what are the chances the mobo, video card and RAM are all bad on a new PC...
