Mobo Issues

Darksamurai · 27-December-03, 10:52 AM

Okay, this one has been interesting.

I got an Abit V7 Mobo and a 2.8Ghz P4 I'm working on (not my rig).

When I boot, I get one really long beep (like 10 seconds), no video, and then it just keeps repeating that really long beep every 6 seconds.

Now then, it wouldn't even power up when I started, I ended up pulling the memory modules (Paired PC-3200), and threw the old PC-2100 back into it. It fired up fine, and it was working... then I was told that it stopped working... and it's back to doing the above error.

Anybody run into this?

I believe that board uses an Award bios. A single repeating beep points to a memory error. Either improperly seated or bad.

EDIT: If it caused two sets of memory to go bad, more than likely it is a voltage fault with the mobo itself.

Actually, it's Phoenix... I'm taking the board back. Hopefully it didn't cook the RAM... Kinda gonna piss me off if it's smoked.

I just looked into the bios beep codes for the Phoenix bios and agree, it's probably a bad board.
