Robertobe200 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I am having similar issues with this ASUS board not booting. All new system that booted about 5 times into BIOS kept hanging there. Flashed BIOS from 0401 to the latest 0503. It flashed properly, however on the reboot after the flash now nothing..repetitive 10 sec beeps, no BIOS at all. When I remove all RAM and boot it the beep changes to 1 long 2 short which according to ASUS is telling me BIOS is OK, just memory is bad..sigh. So back and forth between tech support....I Call ASUS they say it is RAM..call Corsair they say it is the MOBO. Asus says the RAM I am using is compatible even though it is not on the Qualified Vendor List. Systen did not run long enough in BIOS to even attempt to set memory timings, let alone anything else. Corsair said that this MOBO does not like 4 sticks of memory????? Hello!! Why the does it have 4 slots then??? I am going to order another BIOS for my 7 day old MOBO. Any one else have any suggestions or similar issues with this Memory and Board? Because of my location..I am in the Arctic..so shipping things back and forth is expensive and time consuming..so I am trying to narrow the problem down. Also how about a link to Award BIOS beep codes, for an Award 6.0 BIOS.

Wired Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Tried just one pair at a time? Keep in mind that each pair may be using different ICs, which the memory controller will NOT like.

Robertobe200 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yes I have tried one only, two etc..etc all combinations.. Nothing. Very frustrating..Now since it will not even post into BIOS I am guessng that that is fried.. it flashed ok but have not seen the BIOS since it rebooted after the flash.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 20, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thats would suggest a bad flash with the Bios, have you tried to reset the bios with the power and battery removed? If so I would contact the MB maker to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
