Dell Alienware Aurora R4 ALX System Motherboard no post....

HUSKIE · Jul 19, 2018

Bought this Motherboard few Hours ago as non working with 16gb ddr3 ram and i7 3820 CPU.

The problem when the ram inserted to the slots no post, no beeps
When the ram not inserted slots it's beeps as usual no post as well.

Tried one stick each ram no luck
No bent pins
Tried different psu no luck
Tried reset CMOS even jumper no luck
Tried different GPUs no luck.

Do you think mobo is dying
Don't have spare CPU to test.

Cheers!

Wait, you want me to tell you why it doesn't work? Buy a cheap two core, try flashing the bios, does it have any lights on on the board? Try resetting while the board is powered on.......

So you bought a non working board and it doesn’t work. I think that’s normally what non working means :confused:

Or the seller doesn't have a clue, or the time to work it out.
Like the X79 board I purchased as non working, runs perfectly for me.

If the O.P's motherboard beeps with no Ram, it's not totally dead and might be able to be saved, the problem is diagnosing the issue it has.

Hmmmmm. 2 core, flashing BIOS? Lights on the mobo?

Please close the thread, all done and fixed now! Cheers.

Up running now! Secret....

Huh? Define "as usual". As usual would be one single, short beep to indicate a successful POST (power on self test). If no RAM is installed, it would not pass POST.

Come on!

This is a tech support "forum". A forum is a place for EVERYONE to learn and share what they have learned. Saying it is fixed then being coy about what you did to fix it is being disrespectful for the entire concept of forums - and to those who volunteered (now wasted!

) their time in a sincere attempt to help you.
