Hi guys
I have this ASUS P5P43TD motherboard. If I boot with no RAM and no VGA card fitted it stops on POST code D3 and beep 1 long + two short, repeating.
But if I fit some DDR3 it stops with POST code F0 or 40 and does not beep at all. Generally if I fit 1 DIMM in slot A1 it gives error F0 and if I fit 2 DIMMS it gives error 40
It has an AMI Bios. According to my POST analyzer, 40 means 'preparing the descriptor tables next' and F0 means 'next, searching for the AMIBOOT.ROM file in the root directory'
F1 would mean 'the AMIBOOT.ROM file is not in he root directory' but it never goes past F0
I reprogrammed the BIOS with this one from the ASUS website https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards...HelpDesk_BIOS/ but it makes no difference.
I tried various DDR3 single or as pairs 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, PC3-12800U, PC3-10600U, PC3-8500U, - no difference
I have 1.3V Vcore and I have 1.5V on VDD on the DIMM and can also see 0.75V on some capacitors on the DIMM so that would be VRef?
All looks good but it don't work.
Any suggestions?
