Hi all, hoping someone can help me here.
This is an odd issue, everything was fine using the onboard video adapter and then I installed a video card my son gave me.
I did not get any video so removed the card.
Went back to the onboard adapter and no video.
Checked the post codes, it goes from E4 (Entered DXE phase) to 08 or 0B and stops (I did see this 0x08 Starting BIOS execution after CPU BIST, not sure if I am reading the correct thing)
Board status LED's E and F are lit when it hangs,
E = CPU Initialization
F = Memory Initialization
This is the odd part, if I put the video card back in, the post code goes to E4 and then goes into a loop pausing at E4 and starting over again, never gets to the 08.
If there is any more info needed please let me know.
Back history, the board worked great UNTIL my Kuler water cooler leaked, then all my ram died.
I really don't trust this board anymore and want to replace it, just want to make sure my RAM and CPU are fine.
Here is a link to the specs,
intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/desktop/dz68bc/dz68bc_techprodspec08.pdf
One last question, with the video, it is on the southbridge, is it possible for a video card to damage the CPU or RAM?
Thank you for any and all replies.
Loren.
