Hello. After having problems with getting my Powercolor HD 7850 recognized by an old OEM motherboard (original thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2162194/powercolor-7850-post-video-signal-bios-beep.html) I got a different one (ASUS M4A78) and breadboarded it.
Unfortunately I dont get it to POST (i think). Im getting a rather odd error code - 1 short beep, a pause and then 2 more short beeps and no signal to my DVI monitor - 15sec video of the rig:
http://kblsalat.de/mainboard.mp4
- It throws correct error beeps for no RAM, no GPU (and no Keyboard)
- It works neither with my verifiedly working HD7850 nor with a low-end card currently running in my old PC
- Tried CMOS reset, no success
- CPU is working (the heatsink is getting warm, but I have no other AM2 socket mobo for verification)
Does somebody own this board or know this error code? I'm at wit's end. I got it off eBay so I suspect it might be a corrupt board. But wouldn't it be completely dead then? If it recognizes PCIe, CPU and RAM it should POST, right?
Greetings
