Tyan S7012 not posting

[Dangerous_Dave]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help with a Tyan S7012 motherboard that is not posting properly, but instead cycling between 62 and CF very quickly on the LCD post code readout. I have a pair of X5550 CPUs and 16GB of RAM installed in the outer blue lanes.

Is it likely that the board is shot, or is this behaviour indicative of some other issue.

Thanks in advance.

Rule out the basic options. One CPU and one stick of RAM (Switch between if it still doesn't work). As always take the CMOS battery out and just boot in basic. I've seen systems where even though the CPU's are identical they still don't boot for whatever reason

Good luck
