Hi all, this is my first post here but you all have been more then helpful on a couple build problems in the past and for that i thank you.
The problem is the mobo will not post with any components i use on it. I bench tested it and swapped parts from other working machines to troubleshoot it. Every component works on other mobo's and no component combination i have on hand will work with the ep45-DS3L.
When its powered up everything lights up, fans turn on then it's continuous short beeps. The manual says its a power error.
Unless anyone knows of something stupid simple that could cause this I'm assuming i have a faulty mobo and should start the RMA at the egg.
If it's a bad board, it will be the 1st gigabyte board i've gotten, out of 9 builds, that had any problems a BIOS update couldn't solve.
Thanks.
edit: ok some specs: New build ep45 ds3l, e8400, corsair 650 PSU, 2x2gb G.skill 1066 ram, GTX 260
All confirmed working in other rigs:
CPU: e8400, e5200, e2160
PSU: Corsair 650, Antec 650 trio, OCZ gamerXtreme 700.
RAM: G.skill DDR2 800 and 1066 kits, GEIL DDR2 800, kingston DDR800, all 4 gig kits using 1 stick for troubleshooting.
VID: 9800gtx+,GTX 260, 7600gt, hd4830
MOBO: p35 ds3l, p5q pro, p965 ds3r
I think I've ran out of tricks to try to get this to post.
