Socket 775 Build

[phill]

I'd take it all out and then put it on a box and test things bit by bit If your friend can bring over another PSU, you can test it as well...

 

[theFOoL]

OK false Alarm for the Box-Server. In BIOS I noticed that it was in Legacy Mode and not EUFI  now for the 775 ​

 

[theFOoL]

And I got working again but this time it uhh just worked as I can't remember lol. I even shook the pc back and forth and didn't turn off. I thought it was the cpu but it just can't be that as someone stated before. He has the MB so Thursday is our time ​

 

[theFOoL]

So after days of him working with a client he can finally come over with a new HSK for the 1150 and my New ASUS P5Q-EM Do to optain better OC for the Xeon Modded CPU hopefully

 

[theFOoL]

OK so the ASUS P5Q-EM Do is a good board but I wouldn't take the Xeon but the other thing is that the board just won't boot. Not even the Windows setup. As you see I think it's the battery as when I go to power cycle the psu it goes to default but it's on Legacy and not AHCI but that's what you get for 775. We are getting the batteries for the motherboard so hopefully it'll work. The reason I had a PSU on stand by is because I thought it was the psu but nope. Wish Luck

 

[theFOoL]

Could it be a CPU Fan Error? (I highly doubt) that's causing this issue. The fan pin is too short to get to the connector so it's on the closes case fan one. I may switch the HSK around for it to go into the CPU header

 

[phill]

Have you tried resetting the bios and testing out the ram just to make sure that that works? Might be worth testing another CPU if you have another spare

 

[theFOoL]

I have my previous cpu in it but still acting like it was. As I mentioned it's probably not the cpu that was causing the issue but probably the MB somehow. I've tried 3 programs with no help. I don't know what the issue is. I've tried resetting the BIOS by default

 

[theFOoL]

I'm about done with this. I've tried everything I know to do. About to go back to the previous motherboard

 

[phill]

It might be worth seeing if you could re-flash the bios, maybe that might bring the board back into life? Failing that it seems like it might be dead Jim

 

[theFOoL]

Eh I already tried doing that but it just won't see the BIOS file. I've tried Millions of times reset the BIOS, disabled feature, etc.

Hi rk3066...how about assembling the pc on a tabletop...just add each component and check?..

i have had problems with the cpu fan connector not connected...maybe you can get a fan extender cable or fan splitter cable and try connecting...

 

[Jose Jeswin]

The build looks nice so far..

 

[theFOoL]

Yea I'll probably do that thanks. Will post back

On second thought, how about I just disconnect everything one by one "Within the the case" (the HDDs mostly) and to see what's causing the problem. The cpu isn't that's for sure. Also again it is the Q6600 @2.4GHZ (on the previous board I had it to 3.0GHZ) though *If we get this board working we can use the Xeon Modded CPU cause I think my friend was just "How you say" at a lost or something be the board had no beeps or errors when it booted up

Alast now I have to take the battery out to clear cmos (don't know where the jumper is) cause now it just freezing at the post screen

And now it freezes at the Windows Logo via the Setup loading. Me switching boards I'm done. P. S that Flicker is from the onboard with a setting I accidentally used for the memory pull

 

[agent_x007]

Your memory isn't stable (or you simply didn't Enabled Memory Remap Feature).
Next are possiblilities for that issue screeen :
1) Dead GPU/VRAM
2) Damaged PCI-e slot/chipset
3) Damaged device or driver comaptibility issue
Check what iGPU looks like (without external GPU).
Try using less RAM, and/or PCI GPU (not PCI-E, maybe try riser GPU to PCIe x1 ?).

 

[Jose Jeswin]

Dear rk3066....take it slow..one thing at a time...i am sure you can figure it out...

regarding the IGP, i remember reading somewhere that if the motherboard logo has corruption, the motherboard is likely damaged beyond repair...i am not sure though...do you have any such symptoms?..

 

[theFOoL]

What you mean by "Motherboard Logo"? And I'm going to try just one stick of RAM, the Onboard Graphics with and without that at max "by default its at 128MB"

 

[agent_x007]

Also, Disable DRAM Read Training.
"Maximum DVMT" increases VRAM on iGPU up to 1GB on Win XP (if you have 2GB+ RAM), and up to 1849MB when you pack over 4GB on Vista or later OSes.
PS. Why no Remap (you don't have 4GB RAM) ?

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah I've done everything I can't boot off USB or a HDD. Again I've set BIOS default and no go. Funny thing though when I tried to boot the USB it just stayed there for 2 minutes then it just rebooted. I truly think this MB has some issues that I don't know of so. Just when my friend comes by next week he'll see what I'm talking about

Also when I removed a stick of RAM I had to remove the the battery due to it freezes upon start up and just shows like 1306 etc. Of RAM which is incorrect​

 

[agent_x007]

How did you created that Boot USB ?

 

[theFOoL]

All the above programs RuFus, those programs that are meant mainly for Linux but have Windows as well "forget the name", and of course The Windows Creation Tool

 

[agent_x007]

Windows Creation Tool, boot may not work with old boards.
With Rufus, you should try MBR BIOS option with added fixes for old BIOSes (it's a tick box under advanced drive properties).

 

[theFOoL]

I did with RuFus and I got "Kernel Security Check Failure" and researched it but apparently you need to access the setup which is what I'm trying to do but this ASUS P5Q-EM DO is trash but at least I can return it in 30 days

 

[storm-chaser]

Not sure exactly what the problem is but you could try PowerISO to create a bootable USB drive. Always worked for me.

 

[theFOoL]

So we had to return the MB as it wasn't working out at all. Just wouldn't boot at all no matter what we tried. Guess after the rest of the part "Cables and what not" we'll be buying the ASUS P5Q-EM ​
