Got my Evga board for my new build and had everything installed and fired it up with no post. The post LEDs reported "- -". I figured I would try removing devices one by one, but it still wouldnt post.
Then I removed the motherboard and set it on an antistatic surface with only the MB, CPU, and RAM. It now posts code "C 1", which looks like a RAM problem. Perhaps there was a grounding issue mounted in the case at first.
Thing is, I am not entirely certain it is my ram. I have tried combinations of two sticks in the blue slots, two sticks in the black slots, one stick in slot 0, swapped the other stick to slot 0 and it still comes up with the same "C 1" code.
I just find it hard to believe that both sticks of RAM are bad.
My thoughts are to simply RMA the motherboard. Suggestions?
RAM is: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8000PHU2-2GBHZ
(now unlisted from Newegg) :/
