I wanted to make a Home Theatre PC.
I collected all the parts, so I decided to take out my old motherboard&RAM&CPU out of the box, and assemble the PC.
They were put away in the box IN WORKING CONDITION, I upgraded to Ryzen in January 2023, and they all worked before the upgrade.
Motherboard in question is ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution. CPU is Xeon X5650. RAM is a frankenstein config, but it worked. All of them are 1333Mhz CL9.
Now, it doesn't seem to work. Yes I did all the basic things, here is a list of what I did;
  1. Reseat connectors
  2. Reseat RAM
  3. Reseat CPU
  4. Reseat GPU
  5. Reseat CMOS
  6. New CMOS
  7. CLRTC jumper
  8. Different RAM
  9. Different PSU
  10. Different CPU
  11. No GPU
  12. No SSD
  13. Barebones (Only 24pin and CPU 8pin plugged in, power on with screwdriver)
  14. No RAM (Gives code 37 and a couple of beeps; long>short>short)
The only thing it does, is cycle through a bunch of QCodes;
Fat slots (A) give this; 00, E8, 62 (or B2), 01
Thin slots (B) give this; 01, 68 (or B8), 02, EA
6th (last) slot gives; 04, EA, 01, 68 (or B8)
Also, with RAM in the PC, the speaker makes a "click" sound when turned on.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

RAM is a frankenstein config, but it worked. All of them are 1333Mhz CL9.
Elaborate on this.

No need to.
It decided to work.
I gave up on it after trying literally everything possible, so I punched the case&smashed on the table.
Day later I decided to give it 1 last chance, and it booted into Windows.
Guess my rage outburst fixed it LOL
