Configuration:
Abit AB9 Pro
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
2x 1g Crucial DDR2 533 RAM
2x WD SATA Raptor HDDs
ATi X1800XT
OCZ 700watt PSU
I bought this motherboard to upgrade to the Intel Core 2 Duo, and to upgrade my motherboard. After installing everything, I booted fine into BIOS to set up RAID. As soon as I hit "Save and Quit", the system shut off. I turned it back on, and it shut off again. It then turned back on automatically, and nothing was showing on the monitors.
It was a C1 Post Error. According to the website, it's causes are:
1. SPD value lost
2. graphic card error
3. DIMM slot damage
4. Over clocking issue
1) I don't know what the SPD value is, so I skipped this 'fix'
2) I replaced the videocard with a XFX Low-Profile videocard (in my Media Center PC), and that also didn't fix it.
3) I moved the 2 sticks to DIMM 2 and 4 slots, but didn't fix it. I took one out, and tried all 4 slots with EACH ram stick, and that still didn't work. I even tried another RAM (512mb Crucial DDR2 533 stick); that also didn't work.
4) I didn't even attempt to overclock, nor did I have time to (since it immediately shut off after saving).
I tried resetting the BIOS (jumper settings), but that also didn't work. I decided it could be peripheral problems, so I disconnected everything except the videocard, RAM, CPU/Heatsink, and PSU. That still didn't fix the problem.
I tried using my old CPU (Intel Pentium 4 Prescott Series), but that also resulted in a C1 post error. I haven't tried another PSU, but I doubt that's the problem.
What do I do?
*EDIT* I actually got something to show up on the monitor, and got into BIOS (just kept on turning it on and off)! As soon as I went into YGuru Utilities (Overclocking menu), the comp froze up and I had to manually shut it down. After which, it wouldn't display anything on the monitor and give a C1 post error again (note that I accidentally hit ENTER when selecting YGuru Utilities >.<).
