Hi all,

Another one of those threads.......

This is my build:

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM
Antec P182 Special Edition Super Midi Tower Case -
Asus DRW-1814BL 18x DVD±RW IDE Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Black) -
OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2
OCZ StealthXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply

I noticed the power cable for the 4/8 power is too short, so i think i can get an adapter for it.

PSW isnt mounted now, so it reaches all power plugs.

However, i keep getting error codes, and no display on monitor.

The Graphics card was the easiest to install!

I keep getting a long beep, which doesnt shut up!

Error codes i keep getting is 7F.

Also it goes thru lots of other codes before it gets and stays at 7F. Do I assume that all the the codes are still problems as well as the 7F?

7F is:

Switch back to text mode if full screen logo is supported-If errors occur, report errors & wait for keys-If no errors occur or F1 key is pressed to continue: Clear EPA or customization logo???? What does that mean?

Action:

Press Del bottom and load into BIOS, load optimized default. If problem remains the same, we suggest you send to RMA at last.

I have no keyboard and mouse connected at this stage, does this matter?

Appreciate your time!

EDIT, i have reset CMOS, many a time, reseated componets. I have HDD, Graphics card, RAM, CD drive, PSU all connected.

I have got a wireless keyboard connected, with is both USD and Serial. I have connected via serial and still same continuous beep, and Error 7F.

Any ideas?
 
Try one stick of RAM at a time. Then try using onboard GFX... After that, try unplugging everything except the essentials.
 
thanks for your help.

I have already tried that, when no GFX on board i get no signal to monitor, but get error 7F but no beep???

any ideas on that>?
 
Right, added a proper ps2 keyboard.

Added corsair 512mb DDR2 value select 667MHz.

I tried this is DIMM1-4

Outcome continuous beep, no gaps. Error code 7F.

I have tried with no HDD, CD, GPU alternately. SAme error code 7F. When i dont use GPU, i get no beeping noise but i get same error code 7F.

I have reset CMOS, used th jumper, disconnected from mains, removed battery.

Both LED's green and red lightup.

I am now at a complete loss and banging my head against a wall!!!!

How do i check that the MOBO is not DOA?

Looking at RMA'ing it.
 
All sorted last night!

Thanks everyone, thanks for helping!!!

Just got to install a few drivers and what not later!!!

Really appreciate your time.
