Striker II "PCI INIT" error

MaestroX · 16 Jul 2008 at 18:32

I have been using my system for a good couple of months before this error occured.

Today I recieved some new hard drives, which I installed. Upon trying to restart my computer, I get the message:

"PCI INIT"

On the LCD poster. After trying every configuration of hardware I could possibly think of I still can't get it to boot.

remove battery and power connectors try 20mins if no joy try 5 hours.

And turn the battery upside down, just in case.
On Asus forums there is sticky about it.

PCI INIT on the poster means it cannot initiate the pci , have you reaseated your pcie graphics card and any other pci cards ???

I've tried that I'm afraid. I've tried reseating my cards and removing all of them altogether.

At the moment, I don't have anything plugged in at all, HDD, Optical drives etc have all been removed from the mobo.

After having the battery out all night, still no luck.

I'm going to have to RMA the board

Anyone know the turn around time for overclockers.co.uk and RMA's?
