Boot Post Code C1?????????????

I installed a new hard drive and now it will not bootup. What is Code C1 mean? Did I fry my MB?

C1 is a problem with the memory i think. unplug the hard drive to see if its hard disk related..i doubt it. take out the memory sticks and put them back in.

C1 is memory related. I screwed up installing new clock generators and got this code. I suggest you reseat your ram and crimms.

Don't know why it occurred after a HD install but you already have been advised to try unplugging it. Makes sense to go back to square 1.

Why new clock generators?

The new ones have less jitter and are rated for 533MHz, where as the originals are rated for 400Mhz. My RDRAM now max's out at 600Mhz, whereas it used to die at 556 Mhz.

Basically I now have a higher overclock and the computer is more stable. Doesn't give all boards the same results and you have to have good memory to begin with. In my case it was worth it, although it was a real pain in the arse to do.

Here is a link for the error code I received with regaurds to my RAM issue. The lower link is one for you to search for your code.
