Having issue with new video card on a old Mobo

Update did the steps and now the bio's wont load. Then it shuts off after 2-4 min with 26-10-15 displaying on the motherboard. So I get to reseat things and then try without the video card to see if it boots. I tried to clear the cmos to fix is but no go. So after work I get to do the process of elimination to get it to boot.

26, 10, and 15 are system memory related...... odd that on a simple BIOS reset.


Plug ahead ignoring those three .........

Na. Do not go there just yet please. But if yo decide to, only use a 2.0 port at the rear I/O.

Did you have your fingers in it since? Check the 4 or 8-pin ATX12V is still connected securely. Pull it out and re-seat it.

But both radeon setting and GPu-z was seeing a x8. So I made a double check on bio's version it was a 1.70 since someone said something about flashing the bios and I found the current one for my motherboard. Windows wouldn't take the window option. So I moved to adding the flash rom and put it on a USB. I ran it went fine it said press enter I did and the problem started from there. I told my brother about it and he is thinking the file didn't go well. When I cleared the cmos I used the button in the back next to the usb ports.  Just a side question. When I did the flash was I suppose to use the 2.0?

We did not make the point clear enough, ONLY use INSTANT FLASH to update the BIOS.

I'm not sure what you meant by Windows would not take the Window BIOS update option. It refused to run, or what? If there was any BIOS corruption, it might have happened at that point.

Normally for older mother boards, we suggest using the USB 2.0 ports. Normally older boards use add on chips for the USB 3.0 ports, and USB flash drives may not be recognized in the BIOS. But your board has native to the AMD chipset, two USB 3.0 ports on the IO panel. But there are also two add on chip ASMedia USB 3.0 ports, and knowing which are which is not simple.

To be safe, use a USB 2.0 port on the IO panel for your next try at a BIOS update. It seems strange the BIOS update caused a memory issue. I asked you if the memory you are using is from ONE matched set of DIMMs, not multiple kits of the same model, which are not guaranteed to be matched, from most memory manufactures. I don't really think you answered that question.

If you cannot get the board to POST, remove half the memory, and clear the BIOS/CMOS again.

Is loading the default values the same as a BIOS clear. NO it is not! Not at all. You must use either the jumper on the board, or the Clr CMOS switch on the IO panel. in BOTH cases, please shutdown the PC, turn off the PSU, unplug from AC power, let it sit for a minute, and then press the button or use the jumper. After a BIOS clear, you should be prompted to enter the BIOS, or to just let the PC boot. If you don't see that prompt, the BIOS was not cleared.

She is back up. Not sure if it was the flash it is a 2.30 now, but found out that b1/b2 stopped working all 4 cards work. Since they functioned fine in a1/a2. So guess her dual days are done. But she still has 16gb to play with out of the deal instead of 32gb with 2 cards.  Which originally she was 64gb or was suppose to be. Since all 4 chips was F3-1866c10d-16GSR. DDR3-1866 CL 10-10-30 1.50V,  All 4 16gb.
