Hello all, glad I found the official Gigabyte forum.
I have bad an issue creep up on a rebuild of one of my PCs. It is a GA-X48-DQ6 board which seems to have a bad DDRII-2 slot, but I want to see if anyone else has any ideas.
The computer is a modified rebuild for a Windows 7 64 test machine. The board is new, as is second set of memory.
Parts list:
Board: GA-X48-DQ6
CPU: Intel Q6600 (4 x 2.4Ghz)
RAM: Corsair DDR2 Domintator 4 x 2GB (Twin2x4096-8500C5D (x2))
Video: EVGA 8800GT OC (512-P3-N802-A1)
PSU: Antec 850W (SG-850)
SATA HD, PATA DVD+/-RW, etc.
This looks to me as though it should have no issues.
Issue is that the system will not boot with a full load of memory and instead locks itself in to an eternal just after POST reboot mode while flashing BIOS code C1, which if I recall correctly, is some sort of memory error. If one removes the stick in Slot 2 of the board the machine will boot. It does not matter which stick is in that slot, the machine will hang on code C1. Similarly each stick was tested as a single unit in Slot 1 and the machine booted fine each time.
As such I suspect that the slot itself is bad, although I have never seen that throw a machine in to an eternal reboot. Typically it just beeps at you.
If anyone has any other thoughts as to what this could be I would appreciate it.
