0d is a memory training code. Reset the CMOS if not done so already

Thought I would post this here, does anyone with then new crosshair board have the same problem as me with the board not posting, my board goes through all it's error codes and then sits on error 0d with no video output what so ever does anyone have any ideas

I get mine tomorrow, what memory are you using ?

 

[humbug]

Just saw this mentioned on AT forums:






Why AMD,why u do this at EVERY launch,rush??

So to summarise:
1.)Launch CPU one month before win patches drop
2.)SMT reduces performance but don't say anything to save face and most reviews have sub-par gaming performance. Reviewers who tested with SMT off get better performance. AMD should have just been honest and told reviewers their SMT implementation was not fully supported in games
3.)Windows power plans affect performance(probably due to lack of windows support) but I assume AMD missed that
4.)Motherboards are buggy
5.)Hardly any motherboard stock
6.)On Reddit AMA one PR person give vague answers which basically said devs need to patch performance,but it might just windows updates are needed in many cases
7.)They could have waited one month and negated many of these issues

Figures.... it add credence that Jokers results are valid, which is a good thing because they are actually very good.

How do I do that? Last time I did that it was a jumper on the board and I can't see any jumpers

Not sure if i posted this or anybody else did great bit of history form Josh Walrath re AMD

Crosshair

doesn't the crosshair have a cmos button on the back panel ?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Reset is on the IO panel on the Crosshair, yes

 

[woppy101]

Ahhh yes I will try that when I get home, fingers crossed it's a simple thing like that

 

[harney]

Oh no....... what's next CGA 640×200

 

[woppy101]

Reset is on the IO panel on the Crosshair, yes

Is it just a case of pressing the button when it's off, or do I let it switch on then go through it's codes first?

@harney
That's the same cl14 that I have been looking at though for a lot more than that

 

[daman2k]

What was the point of launching these CPU's already when all the good boards are basically non existant, why not launch next week?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Either, also use slots A2 and B2.

 

[woppy101]

Either, also use slots A2 and B2.

I will give that a try, hopefully it works

 

[harney]

Hey Harney, how comes your trust dont work?

Oh i got you just a bit slow today
not sure why it should not work maybe OCforum thinks i am not trustworthy
try it again ....is there sumit in my prefs i have to setup anybody ?
