Hello, long time reader, first post. I can almost always find an answer here but not this time, so i'm going to post it.
Recently I got an Asus A88XM-Plus MB from my cousin (he's new to the computer building world), he bought the MB thinking it was compatible with the FX6300 Cpu I gave him. Long story short I ended up with the MB. With that I bought a bundle with a X4 880k cpu and a MSI A88XM-e35 MB for $50. Everything works (except for the cpu fan header) on the MSI MB and the X4 880k Cpu, but it only has 2 memory slots and I want at least 16gb of memory and 16gb (8gbx2) kits of ddr3 memory is still pretty expensive. Its a non apu cpu, I have a discrete graphics card for purposes of testing builds like this.
Everything powers up on the Asus MB but its just not posting, no beeps unless there's no memory
I just tried about almost every method to remedy this -
Cleared CMOS
Removed and Replaced CMOS Battery
Performed CPU Parameter Recall (CPR)
Different Power Supplies (380w, 450w, 500w, 1000w all good and working PSU's)
Different Memory set-ups (I have 2 4gb x 4 kits, and 1 1gb x4 kit) beeps without memory
Different Graphics Cards (HD6450, GTX 280, R7 370)
I'm guessing this might be a Bios problem, but in the back of my mind i'm dreading the fact it just might be a dead MB.
Hopefully someone can help me or let me down easy lol
Thanks!
