Debug codes

It's supposed to cycle through codes before boot
Each code represents a part of the POST process (Power On Self Test). If the system
freezes and does not complete POST then the test that failed will be indicated on
the Debug LED display. In other words, there is only a problem if a code remains
on the display and the system is frozen. There are even codes that indicate you
are in the BIOS, Ab and sometimes A2.

Your board is functioning exactly as it should if these codes are clearing before your OS starts to load.

Ah, what is the last code before it loops? It is triggering a restart because it
can't initialize something, most likely your RAM. Make sure you have your RAM
installed in slots A2 and B2 and that they are fully seated into the slots. On new
boards the slots can be tight and appear like they are all the way in but are not.

If the codes cycle through, clear then the system boots into the OS all is well.
If you freeze or the system POST loops (resets after cycling through some codes)
then there is an issue and the last code flashed will give you an idea of what the
issue is if you look it up.

I took the cpu out and took a picture I can't really tell if these are bent pins I took a magnifying glass to it and still can't tell..

Looking at the pic (very blurry) there seem to be 2 areas that look off:



It could be bent pins or possibly something spilled in the socket? The image isn't
clear enough to see. Code 44 is a memory related code but considering the memory
controller is located on the CPU, it could well be bent pins giving you a problem.

i looked at it under a magnifying glass they dont seem to be bent at all but there is definitely two spots that look strange on the board
