Hey folks,
I posted here a couple months ago trying to figure out what my problem was. Based on my tests/helpful responses from the community I decided my mobo was DOA, sent it back and got a replacement. HOwever now that I have my replacement I'm seeking help yet again. Here's what I'm working with:
intel i5-760
Gigabyte P55-USB3 rev 2.0
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 2x2gb
I have all my other parts but for the purpose of my testing I'm going with the bare minimum. On my previous mobo which was supposedly tested and found to in fact be DOA I tried different combos of RAM/no RAM and got the same power error (rapid short beeps) code from my speak. I get the seem beep code currently, with or without ram (tried different permutations, 1 stick 2 stick slot 1 slot 1&2 slot 1&3).
I ordered my cpu/mobo from superbiiz who sent the mobo out to gigabyte to be tested last time. This time I was very upset seeing the same results and asked for my money back. They asked me to speak to their "technician" first, who proceeded to tell me that because I was getting beeps my mobo was working and it was a RAM error. I placed the RAM where he told me and still no good, and I'm 99% sure that there would be a different beep code if it was a RAM issue (per manual/common sense). I know that getting dead RAM isn't a rare occurence at all but I just wanted to get opinions before I continue my fight with the company on whether or not you guys this is the mobo again or my RAM?
Thanks for your time!
