My friend's mobo is having issues. We originally went out to Frys to get RAM for his old PC upgrading from 6GB to 16GB. Now, the ram isn't the right one, that problem can be fixed. What the real problem is that his eVGA X58 mobo, w/ Intel i7 920, is giving him an "error 75" issue, which means HDD - IDE device detection. BIOS cannot be reached thru keyboard(s). All it goes to is an info basic screen where on the bottom it says "press DEL for BIOS.......". We also bought a new ASUS PCE-AC66 wireless adapter for him to get internet but we will be returning later probably.
His HDD setup: Intel 320 Series 180GB SSD, 2x Western Digital 300GB vraptors (no RAID).
Intel SSD is cloned because he installed it later.
We are trying to figure it out. We are presuming it is the RAM overall and not the HDDs, because the are in working condition. They have not caused him problems. What we speculate is his RAM giving out. We switched each RAM sticks (OCZ 3x2GB DDR3 1600), but when we install all of them then the PC won't even boot to any screen. It is so odd. All HDDs are plugged up correctly too. We really think the RAM is causing this. We found compatible RAM online thru Amazon too.
What do you guys suggest we do that I can suggest him?
