ASRock P45X3 Deluxe with E8400 processor and 16 GB ram

[rrgrassi]

Hi,

I just bought this board, transferred my CPU to it and installed 16 GB DDR3 1333 fsb.

When I turn it on, system runs for a second, turns off, restarts with 3 long beeps and an E0 or 03 code on the DX LED. It continually does this

What can cause this? I have never encountered something like this before.

Thanks!

That's simple, a problem with the RAM memory. Could be incompatible, or a memory BIOS setting being incorrect.

Your board's memory compatibility list has only one 4GB DIMM validated with your board. What is the exact, full model number and make of your memory?

I am using 4 4gb modules. They are Samsung DDR3 1333mhz Part number: M393B527OCHO-CH9Q4 It is ECC Buffered, and I found out that this board needs Non ECC unbuffered. A new order has placed.

Thanks!
