However, I know have a long continuous and extremely loud beep and it still doesn't post. Anyone know what a continuous beep means?

Ment 'Your cpu is dead, you killed it. Rememeber?' on my old DFI...

Not much help.

Got the manual for the board? it should say somthing in there. If not get kemp too shout at abit?

I still say it may be that you need to set a higher RAM voltage in the BIOS

The mobo worked 100% fine this side of the pond...

I'm not so sure he can get into bios >.<

Which is why I would suggest that the RAM needs a higher voltage to work and he needs some low voltage RAM to test with

I just ran it to the local PC place, and they seemed to think the mobo was bad. I dunno, I'll RMA it and see how that goes Grrr

I don't really understand how they think the mobo is bad when it was working before it was sent?

I don't know, that's what he assumed, so I guess it's worth a shot. Ham's link also says the continuous beep is mobo damage. I guess we'll RMA it and see.

I don't believe this, I am getting what seems to be exactly the same problem.

Just put my new build together, switch it on and get error code 8.7 on my ABIT IP35 Pro post display- which says I have to check CPU core voltage.

Dismantle everything so that MB and PSU are sitting on desk with nothing else connected - same problem.

Re-install the old bits that were in same flicker of fans which makes me wonder why?

The only different connection I used was the 8 pin EPS12V on the ABIT as on my old MB Asus Asrock dual 939 it was only 4 pin ATX12V. I am now going to test the power supply in an old machine and see if it powers up, the machine is currently running at the moment so I know it works.

I will also drop a thread on the Tagan site as it is a Silver Power PSU and has been fine until now. Also noticed the Tagan support thread has gone off this site :-(

most common cause of 8.7. is not having th eATX12V1 connected which you apparently have.

Another that can sometimes cause it is noy having an rpm signalling fan connected to the CPUFan header.

Also, some of the modern PSUs need a bit of a load spread across their rails before they fire up - this can mean that a really stripped down install doesn't work but once a few HDDs etc. are connected they'll work.

chudley · #30 04-09-07, 09:08 AM

Originally everything was connected, I have since dismantled again and jump started the PSU and it fired up with nothing connected.

I will now try it in the old pc again and then swap it to the upgrade components to see if it is them that are causing the problems.

I am wondering if it is the 8pin connecter at fault?

Update, the jump start seems to have done the trick, it boots the old components fine and now boots the new bits too, as far as the post error code 7F which i think is a HD problem as I need to format and reinstall the sata drivers.

Will keep you posted on the progress

Cheers for the suggestions.
