HHawk Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi there, I recently purchased this set (all new of course) to replace my old HTPC. However after I installed everything I am getting C1 error followed by 09 error (etc. etc. etc.) on the DFI leds... Motherboard: DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R/G Memory: Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5C (I just checked the memory label, it says: CM2X2048-8500C5C ver.4.1) Did I buy the wrong memory??? It should work without problems, right? Sigh... I already bought a new PSU (cause I thought the old one had died, but that isn't it). It's giving me C1 errors on the DFI leds. Things I tried: - Removed the memory sticks - Switched memory banks - Switched memory stick positions - Used 1 stick at a time - Swapped the single memory stick - Cleared the CMOS several times... All without succes; it keeps giving me the C1 error followed by 09 error (etc. etc. etc.).... Please, please advice... Cause the HTPC won't post at all... It gives me a blank screen...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 11, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 11, 2009 If the system will not post with either modules one at a time I would suspect some other problem, do you have access to another system you can test the modules on?

HHawk Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 The only 2 other systems that I have is a very old machine (which uses DDR1) and the other is a Core i7 machine (uses DDR3). So I cannot test it... What could be the problem? Cause I tried everything. One thing I noticed with the DFI motherboard, are; With the memory (1 or 2 banks filled); it gives a C1 + 09 error (switches between them). Without memory; it gives a C1 error only (it doesn't switch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHawk Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Okay I ordered a different set of memory (from a different brand) and it still gives me the same C1 09 error. Does this mean the board is DOA...? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean the board is DOA...? :( Or, it could be the CPU. Can you test the CPU in another system or find another CPU to test in your board?

HHawk Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well to be honest; I have found another topic. With the same error as me: C1 09 This means the CPU isn't detected... The good news is that it can be solved; by flashing the bios to the latest version. The bad news is that I need a (working) CPU which boots up my PC, so I can flash the bios to the latest version. Now I managed to order an older CPU for cheap (refurbished crap), however this should allow me to flash the bios and start using the CPU (hopefully). Hopefully the CPU will arrive today (otherwise tomorrow)... //edit The following link might be usefull for people who experience the same C1 09 error: http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8341 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHawk Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ordered an used (older) CPU, installed it, booted up. Then I flashed the bios with the latest bios available. Uninstalled the (older) CPU and inserted the new one... And it finally booted up! YES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Very cool. I am glad that worked for you since you went to the effort and expense of buying a CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHawk Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Luckily the CPU was a bargain (25 Euro's) and the extra memory (for testing) was also only 25 Euro's. So it costed me 50 Euro's, but I managed to get it working! Now let's start overclocking. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
