A7N8X system failed memory test, unable to boot
I think I am SOL with my A7N8X deluxe v2.0 My system was working until
I bumped the fsb from 180 to 185. It restarted but only display part of the bios setup screen. After that all I get is voice reporter saying System failed memory test once and then nothing. No boot. All components are tested. Two sets of cpu, memory, power supply. All good. Strip down to just power and board. Popped out battery and reset cmos. System failed memory test. What is the quickest way to rma my board with Asus? |

a7n8x family hate crap ram. I have only corsair in mine. "asus" wrote in message ... I think I am SOL with my A7N8X deluxe v2.0 My system was working until I bumped the fsb from 180 to 185.

If you reset the CMOS, the FSB will be 100MHz, and it'll work. Resetting the CMOS is not always as obvious as you might think, just make sure you follow the manual.

i have had that happen before when I went from 200 to 215..I
shutdown...unplugged power cord...moved jumper to reset...pulled battery and then redid it all..just on an off chance..reseat mem or put it in different slot. I have an A7N8X-deluxe rev2.0..Barton 2500@200 with 3x256 OCZ PC3200EL...and if board has failed...tell them you run a small business and ask for an Advanced RMA..they will send the paperwork via e-mail (after you FAX back) and mail out a board...if it passes their tests you will be charged for a new one..so make sure it is done in. I had my paperwork all set up to go back..ran 1 more test and all was fine.Lay it all on on piece of cardboard connect components and try a "benchtest"..just to make sure of no ground issues(with case) or EMF issues.Good luck. Mine was going back due to mem controller failure plus I have the rare APIC issue...can not have it enabled at all.The mem was fixed by moving my ram around since 1 stick did not match other 2. |

Yeah the board is done in for sure. How can I get the RMA process started with Asus? |
