Hello. . So here is my problem! I bought a new motherboard from a friend of mine. It is a AsRock Rack ep2c602. He bought it a few years ago but never used it. I tried to test it with a cpu e5-4620 v1 and a 8gb dimm of ram on it. The mobo start for a few seconds than stops and after that it start again for a few seconds and so on. I talked with AsRock support service and they were very nice people. They send me a Rom chip and a bios chip. I changed both chips and there is no change. Hope I'll find a solution here. I also have a little video with the mobo behaviour. I could't find a solution to upload it here. So i used wetransfer. This is the video link: https://we.tl/t-JkCxnubpdi" rel="nofollow - https://we.tl/t-JkCxnubpdi Thanks in advance. ------------- Augustin |

What is the part number for the RAM? Have you checked to see if it's on the compatibility list for your board? In your video I see you have a disconnected 8pin CPU power header on the board. I see it's a dual socket board so would I be correct in assuming you have the one for the socket you are using connected? Check the manual for the board and make sure there isn't a preferred socket when only using one CPU. Follow the setup instructions carefully, some server boards can be very particular about how they need to be set up. -------------

| Hello and thanks for your answer. Yes, the CPU is in the right socket. I tried to use more than 6 ram models. The result is the same. Some of those dims are on the approved ram list. |

Is the CPU known good? I would check for bent pins in the socket and make sure the CPU isn't damaged (warped substrate, missing pads/capacitors). Typically, these looping power cycles are either RAM or CPU related. What does the system do with no RAM inserted at all? If you disconnect the CPU 8pin power does it still power cycle? Try different things to get the board to power on and stay on, remove RAM then maybe try remove the GPU etc until it turns on and stays on. Odds are, whatever component you removed/changed last may have something to do with the issue. -------------

| I tryed 4 different cpus. All the cpus were previously tested and are in working state. I tryed with and without ram. It is the same behaviour. I will try with no cpu. On the alphanumeric display there is not showing anything. |
