So I bought a rampage II extreme for my pc, Ive had to RMA 2 boards and im on my third and its saying the same thing as the last 2 with the lcd poster saying "locked", from what I understand it just means its a defective board but I have a feeling maybe one of my components are not compatible perhaps and im just missing it, can someone shed some light its driving me crazy.
Everything I used with the new mobo with the exception of the Core I7 I bought is currently in use on my current pc with no problem so I know the components work, ive also tried using the 4 sticks of ram I have in all the possible spots in the mobo according to the mobo user guide book.
The board simply wont post and all the lcd poster is saying is "locked"
heres what im using when trying this out
ASUS Rampage II Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
SAPPHIRE 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR5 Video Card
COOLMAX CUQ-1200B 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
OCZ 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive
Intel Core i7 940 Nehalem 2.93GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
If anyone has any ideal why this thing wont work please let me know its been driving me mad for about a month now
