Lew Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I get a single beep out of the machine's AMI BIOS. One or two sticks of the subject memory.....single beep These two sticks were an Xmas gift....sigh This MB has never been past the single beep as yet. I reset the CMOS, no help. What are the cheapest 1 GB DIMMS I can put in there? Your compatability list does not include this MB. I am running an Opteron 175 and wishing for more than the ASUS-stated maximum of 4 GB. In other words a Micro-workstation. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 According to their model # “VS1GB400C3” they wasn’t part of a KIT. They were not test together in pairs. They might not be able to work together in dual-channel as pair. So you have Two 1GB stick? Try using single module as single channel configuration in socket DIMM-A1 (Blue) it in the MB manual. And see what will happen. AMI Bios address: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thanks for the BIOS page. I have no idea where to look for the interrupt controller. I tried the single DIMM: same single beep. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 The problem might be because of your motherboard not been able to support your AMD Opteron Dualcore 175 in the Bois. the the orginal Bois rev. before 0506 is not supporting Opteron. The original Bois support the Athlon 64 series CPUs. This link is A8N-VM CSM Related info: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A8N-VM%20CSM This next link shows you how to check you motherboard of what rev. of Bois your motherboard has: http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?no=270&SLanguage=en-us I hope this can help you, good luck!
