Hi all,
First post here - I wanted to thank you as so far this website has been invaluable to me. However, I have come across a problem that I could not find the answer to.
I found a couple threads detailing the "03" North Bridge Initilization code issue with MSI Z97 boards and many suggested to was pertaining to ram. I am reusing ram that was in an older computer - it is DDR3 1600 1.5v ram, but it is older (link here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231637).
From what I have found researching on here, as long as it's DDR3 1600 and under 1.55v, it should work. I have tried inserting the ram into different slots, I even tried booting it with just one stick of ram, yet I get the same error. I get a "no signal" on my monitor - I tried both DVI/HDMI on both the video card and the mobo and I got nothing.
I confirmed that the GPU is snug, and the processor was correctly installed. Could the ram just not be compatible?
I guess I'd also like to mention that this ram was installed in my old setup that totally quit working due to my motherboard/processor quitting - could it be possible that the ram got toasted along with the motherboard/processor?
I thought I would pick all of your brains for some help - it appears all the issues are pointing toward bad/incompatible ram. It's just annoying that I have to wait another two days before I can get my setup back up and running.
Some suggestions on ram I guess would be good too. My GPU is an R9 390, my processor is a i5-4690k.
Thank you!
