C1 Post Code IP35 Pro

Flixified · 20 Dec 2007 at 22:12

So I just got this board..plugged everything in (ATX, 12v)...added 1 stick of 1gb OCZ PC2-6400 800Mhz ram and my new BFG 8800GT OC, and Q6600 G0.

First boot everything looked fine..booted then it came up with "checksum error F1 to continue...blahblah" Didn't have the keyboard in so couldn't continue...

I helped the power button to turn off, plugged in the keyboard (PS2) and powered on again but I only manage to get to C1. Now...no matter what I do it won't boot past C1 and I have no idea what I did wrong.

I've tried changing the RAM in different slots...I've tried a different stick of RAM. Tried reseating it all, clearing CMOS but still only get to C1.

I don't get what's wrong?

tried increasign the ram voltages? if you are talkign about the platinum stuff, set the voltages to 2v for 2 sticks and 2.1 for 4 sticks

im assuming you can get into *** bios

take the battery out. the clear cmos doesnt seem to...clear the cmos very well. i thought my ip350pro was dead until i did that. i dunno why i didnt take the battery out first lol

Can't get to Bios as nothing comes on the screen.

Ok taking out the battery didn't fix it either. Any other ideas?

@jak371: They are the Gold Revision.

you left it out for a minute and pulled the power? (leaving the switch in clear mode)?

Yep I did

OCZ Gold seems to be pretty poor on these boards at least until you can increase the Vdimm (platinum esp rev. 2 seems fine).
have you got any other RAM?

I don't.

Good news is I managed to sort it. I put 1 of the sticks into slot 4 and it booted so I quickly went into the bios and upped the voltage to 2.0.

Everything is working fine now =] Thanks for the help guys!
