kubus007 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 after installing this psu i noticed strange post codes on my board before the usual "C1". some examples, "1C" "1U" and the like. unhooked all except the atx and eps cables and same thing. exchanged parts like ram, same thing. my other dfi p35 has no strange codes. so i switched the power supplies. now my board boots to "C1" with no problems. i also received a new psu from ******** and it also produces strange post codes.:confused: ::EDIT:: my psu was ready to rma. the dfi bios has an option under integrated peripherals > on chip ide device called "run ahci rom". this should only be enabled if you have "sata" optical cd dvd drives. in my case i have "ide" optical drives. setting ahci to disabled solved my problem. no need to rma. :headbang: EDIT2EDIT: never mind. the above fix worked for another power supply that i got and tested with the system and the ahci rom fix worked. i put the corsair back in and the fix did not work. so i will rma.:bsflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 30, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 30, 2009 Can you test the PSU on another MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus007 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 i tested the psu on a different mobo of the same model and it also showed strange post codes, when not with its usual psu. my other psu, i just got back, on the referenced mobo also showed strange post codes before the usual "C1". and it also is supposed to be new. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 31, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would make sure you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard, load defaults in the BIOS, and then test the PSU one more time. If you still have the same issues then lets get it replaced! You can use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Be sure to check the box that says “I've already spoken to Technical Support and/or RAM Guy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Rebates have NOTHING to do with RMAs, so you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
