Hi all,
My new p8z77-I build was fine for a week, and this morning I had a silverstone ft03 mini case come in so I could install the components to the new case. I spent a few hours And got it all put together, only to have no bios load and the fabled yellow monitor issue. I decided to unplug one device at a time to see if it would have any effect. I ended up uninstalling everything but the CPU, ram, and corsair h55. I noticed the dram led on the motherboard fully lit up, and so I plugged in a speaker lead, receiving one long beep and two short beeps.
Other sites have suggested a video card problem but ASUS diagnostic said memory? Im sitting here thinking how could the memory be the issue, the whole computer worked splendidly this morning, I didn't change any hardware besides the case. I took out the motherboard, breadboarded the setup, still same warning. I tried 4 pairs of ram sticks - corsair vengeance, corsair xm3, Kingston hyper blu, and Kingston genesis - all rated at 1600mhz and either 2x2gb or 4x2gb at either 1.5 or 1.65v. I was originally using the vengeance, but the manual said my exact xm3 sticks were supported. None of them helped. I'm stuck trying to diagnose the problem - I know the ram is seated correctly. There's even a "MEM OK!" button I can press on the mobo that will auto test my ram and try to post. None of the sticks, regardless of channel or only 1 in one slot, nothing that you would normally try is working, and the dram led is constantly on.
I can't imagine that I broke the motherboard just by moving it from one case to another, but with a fully working system this morning and 4 different ram sticks tested, I can only think that my $200 itx board is giving in after only a week.
Thoughts, suggestions, etc.? I've checked all connectors on all power supply ends and used canned air to clean. What is causing the motherboard to not detect my ram, when it just did this morning?
