hey everyone, im gonna tell the problem im having and hope to find a fix, your answers and suggestions are appreciated. i know its long, but please read it.
I have a pc with the following specs
(i5 2400, gtx 1050 ti, 8gb ram 1333mhz (2x4), foxconn p67a bios is from AMI)
i had a power cut off a few days back when i was working on the pc, and when it came back, everytime i turn the pc on i get the error code on the debug led (b7).
i searched about it but couldnt find an exact answer because foxconn website is down or
something, but i read that its a ram problem.
i tried one stick in all four slots, same error.
but its unlikely that all four slots just got broken at the same time?. i took out all ram sticks and the error code changed to 55, which i think is no ram is found.
so i thought its a cpu, or the ram sticks themselves have a problem.
i got another cpu, i5 3470, and two sticks of ram (2x2) (and yes the bios is updated and the motherboard supports this cpu).
so here is every situation i tried:
1st:
old cpu + 1 stick of new ram
error code b7 then 59.
2nd:
old cpu + 2 sticks of new ram
error code b7.
3rd:
new cpu + 1 stick of old ram
error code 95
2 sticks of old ram is b7
4th:
new cpu + 1 stick of new ram
error code 99 ( i remember that this used to show up when it posted successfully or it was 66 i dont know, but nothing on screen now)
2 sticks of new ram is b7
and i tried to reset cmos multiple times, even try with no gpu, or switch gpu slot, even tried a gt 210, same thing.
cpu pins are perfectly fine.
is my motherboard dead?
