Random errors, no BIOS boot, EVGA Z68 FTW, 2 days of pain

[eurgbp]

MB gave random errors, then gives 22 error code now
tried different PSUs
what to do?

I can't make out that RAM stick can you take a decent picture and post a link. Also do you have another stick to try.

 

[Puppies04]

By the way, take the GPU out of the mobo. You should always run with the minimum number of components when fault finding.

Edit.

P.S if you are wearing those gloves to prevent static discharge then forget it, it won't work.

Edit 2.

Sorry didn't realise that mobo doesn't have a video out.

Gloves only for against dirt and dust

Do you have another stick of RAM to try?

What does error code 22 correspond to in the user manual, I am having trouble finding it online.

 

[Puppies04]

While we are waiting for your reply a few suggestions to try.

*Remove and reseat the GPU.

*Remove and reseat the memory (try another stick if possible as above)

*Remove and reseat the CPU.

*I don't think you need that molex connector unless you have multiple GPUs plugged into the mobo. Although it shouldn't cause a problem you could try removing it to limit the number of components to test.

*Make sure you haven't plugged an 8 pin GPU cable into the 8pin mobo connector (you would have had to force this to fit).

most of them I did, but once I get back to my bunker, I'll redo stuff

also I have this feeling mb just gives random post errors
before I had 30 28 29 27 C A6 errors
it's just bunch of nonsense

 

[Puppies04]

Sounds dodgy, maybe speak to EVGA, I had the same online manual up but I assumed it was wrong as I couldn't see an error 22.

Make sure all your connectors are in the correct place and seated properly.

I don't think that mobo supports ECC ram. Get some normal ddr3 and try again.

 

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Your using some junk arse HP memory in a EVGA board and you need to ask why its not working? Seriously!!

 

[nenforcer]

2GB Micron 10600R DDR3 Server Ram (MT18JSF25672PDZ-1G4D1AB)

This is Registered ECC DDR3 memory which is only supported by Xeon processors and NOT in your consumer P67 motherboard, I don't believe.

Which CPU processor are you running in that EVGA FTW board?

 

[jaqie]

that is not junk memory... that is high end registered ECC server memory. That is in no way compatible with your motherboard. Buy some unbuffered ram of the correct type and try again.

22 is a memory type error code.
