Ok so in two years of working on PC’s I have never run into this problem and it is killing me. I think I know the answer, which is that the new mobo I installed is shot but it is literally brand new.
This is an old system that I am repairing for a family member:
ASRock K7S41GX mobo
AMD Socket 462
512MB DDR3 (PC2700)
I installed the new CPU, RAM and Motherboard into the system. Now I get a series of 3 POST beeps no matter what I do. I tried different RAM, different CPU, different PSU, tried taking the RAM out of the system, nothing. No matter what I do, I get the 3 POST beeps and no output. (Yes, I removed ALL peripheral hardware)
The beep codes for the AMI BIOS state it is stating a RAM issue, but I tested the RAM and it is fine. I get the beeps without RAM as well, so im guess maybe the RAM slots are bad on the new Mobo? Can’t find the solution anywhere…
You must not work on computers enough :rofl
ASROCK sucks balls so much. A friend and I built a computer with one, worst experience ever, DOA. Had to RMA it, I think he ended up getting a different brand.
