Ok so I decided to upgrade a bit. Full specs below. My problem is I can't get it to POST. It keeps halting on Dr debug code A9. The only things plugged into the board are the panel header, 24 pin power for the board and 8 pin for the cpu. The CPU is good, no bent/missing pins and it seated nicely. I have updated the bios to 1.5 thru the flash bios which seemed to work ( it took @ 90 seconds, the light was red and flashing then stopped, no green light and I could see the read light on the USB working). I have swapped the 2 RAM sticks around and tried each individually. I cleared the cmos using the button and removed the battery. It still gives the A9 code. Is the board just toast?

| So yeah. It was the RAM! Turns out that it was compatible with the board but not the chip. Go figure. I was able to find comparable RAM that is on that list at Best Buy. They had 1 set. Thanks for the help! |
