Okay, I got a new DFI Lanparty DK X48 T2RS motherboard and got everything installed but when I finnaly when to boot it up it showed the "C1" error code on the diagnostic LEDs and I found out that it was the RAM. Im trying to boot it with 2 512 MB sticks or generic DDR2 800 RAM, could these sticks not work with the motherboard? Or did I somehow fry them?
sorry..... and I tested it with one stick, then the other... nothing. I may just get some different RAM because I don't have another PC that supports DDR2 memory
Can a computer even post without RAM? The computer dosen't post and I'm not quite sure the monitor is getting a signal...
Okay, I've done that "Get rid of error C1" thing once and I still got the error code. If i still get the code does that mean that I have to RMA the motherboard? EDIT: I've done this twice and I still get the "C1" error. So it is either the board or the RAM. Tomorrow I will try to test the RAM before dealing with RMA'ing the board
your DFI Lanparty DK X48 T2RS very nice motherboard. Should not have problem. If you still have problem with the motherboard.You should call the DFI manufacturer. I hope the problem solve. http://us.dfi.com.tw/Contact/contact_us.jsp?PAGE_TYPE=US&INDEX_TYPE=MB&SITE=US
I found the problem! Its not the mobo! No RMA! W00t! Sorry.... I figured out that the RAM speed is not even compatible with the motherboard so I'm positive that I need new RAM (I'm happy that the motherboard is functional, not that I have to spend more money) I have two units on newegg that I'm looking at, a 4 GB unit from G.Skill and a unit from OCZ. Which unit should I buy?
I thought all RAM was compatible with all boards. If the board doesn't support the speed, it'll automatically set it to the max it supports. I guess it isn't possible to get to the BIOS setup if POST doesn't complete? If you are able, make sure that every setting is right (voltage, timings, FSB:Memory).
