Title says it all, anyone know just what exactly post code 0D actually is? As per usual, the abit manual doesnt have that POST code error in it, or any useful POST code error definitions come to that :\

I was hoping you couldn't post on the forums, wishful thinking :)

I did a quick Google and nothing useful popped up. Could you give more details as to where the error appears? ie after VGA init, after memtest or after IDE scan?

My manual for my old AW9D-MAX has the post codes in it.... I dont know if it would be the same or not. I will have to did it up

Manual skips from 0A to 0E. I couldn't find anything useful either.
Try contacting Abit directly ?

Hopefully the "D" doesn't stand for "Dead" ;)

I think it means its in "overdrive"

There must be a button to take it off of that. I am surprized that you bought an automatic :roll:

(dont know how many people will get that)

^ Funny. Nothing wors than a Corvette with an automatic.

Yea, they list 0A and 0E, but nothing between...

0A =
2. Auto detect ports for keyboard & mouse followed by a port & interface swap (optional)
3. Reset keyboard for Winbond 977 series Super I/O chips

0E =
Test F000h segment shadow to see whether it is R/W-able or not. If test fails, keep beeping the speaker

And yes, the quesiton is if you ever got it to post in the first place.

Nope still no 0D. Interestingly I get a different POST code error depending which RAM stick I use, both sticks are good. Due to its randomness it could be the BIOS needs updating, as DRAM compatibility was improved twice in the space of 3-4 BIOS releases. I'll get exact details now.

Since 0E has to do with testing the BIOS shadow in memory, you are probably correct. 0D is probably some other memory thing. I bet the default ram voltage is too low or something - and prob fixed in a bios update.

Ok, testing stick 1; DIMM 1-3 error code 0D. DIMM 4 error code C5.
Stick 2; DIMM 1-4 error 0D

In both sticks cases, when inserted into DIMM2 the system _almost_ manages to POST it seems as the monitor starts to switch from standby mode, then promptly re-enters standby mode.

Nope, brand new board. Just fired it up a few mins ago, to be greeted with that lovely error.

@ dan; POST codes fly by too fast to pinpoint exactly where the error comes in, but its deffinately after the DRAM detection phase.

Dont know what Award BIOS version, but it makes sence it would be 6.whatever. 4.51 went out a while back. The C5 error is something to do with the chipset apparently, but I only get that error once with Stick 1 in DIMM 4, so that can easily be ignored, at least for now.

I have a feeling cheap pc5300 ddr2 ram may need to be used til you can update bios.

Looks and sounds totally chipset dependent. This is why I stopped using Abit boards..... too picky with RAM.
