I mentioned this briefly in another topic, but I'd like to just start a new thread on it.
I am running an 8RDA+ with an AMD Athlon 2500+ and 2 sticks of 265mb DDR333 Mushkin RAM. This configuration has worked fine for me for the past three months, and I have even been running fine with the multiplier at 12.5 and FSB at 168mhz. But recently I used the latest Epox drivers mirrored by www.8rdafaq.com and his instructions on how to update them. I used the BIOS built in AWDFlash util to flash the BIOS, and it appeared to work fine. But upon restart, I now get a "C1" (memory not detected) error on the LED before POST, along with a very annoying alarm. I have moved the RAM around in every config possible, reset the CMOS, and even tried booting without RAM. Same problem. According to www.8rdafaq.com, this is a common problem with the 8RDA+. But since my configuration worked fine before, with the same everything, I am confused.
Is there anything I can do short of an RMA?
