GA-EP43-DS3L won't boot all the sudden...

[Achilles97]

GA-EP43-DS3L, e7200, Crucial Ballistix 1gb x 2. It has been running fine at 3.8ghz with temps all in green. The vcore was barely tweeked at all. All the sudden it won't boot. It hung on the memory part of POST and after the resetting the CMOS it just displays the Gigabyte post screen for a few seconds then reboots and repeat.

I don't have any other ram sticks to test. I tried both sticks one at a time, no luck. Before I order more RAM, any suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's either the ram or the mobo...

Thanks!

Are you getting any beep codes?
Considering the board doesn't have a speaker and your case probably doesn't eaither you'll need a PC speaker so you can hear the beep codes. That will tell you what the problem is. Just look up IBM Beep codes on google and it will tellyou what each code means.

This kit will give you a PC speaker.

Thanks for the reply.


I swapped out the PSU and it booted just fine. I put the other PSU back in and it booted fine, so either something was loose or the PSU is dying. It's a OCZ StealthXStream 500w, 4 months old...
