Long story-short:
I bought an ASUS M4A78T-E with a 960t a while back[used], but working nicely. Sold the 960t and bought another AM3 processor; all good at this point, on the testbench. But, after having assembled into a case with drives/etc wasn't POSTing, no display, so back out of the case and on to the testbench. Scrounged up a system speaker and hooked up- getting one long-two short beeps, which according to the ASUS M4A78T-E manual is an indication that the memory is not being detected by the motherboard.
Did the following:
1. Tried numerous "known-good" RAM modules, in each of the DIMM slots.
2. Removed the CMOS battery, even removed the BIOS chip & let sit for several days.
3. Inspected & cleaned motherboard. Visually, all motherboard components appear pristine.
4, Used tested PSUs that meet or exceed that recommended.
Anything else I might try, before sending the board to e-waste?
