Waco Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I would try another CPU if possible before ordering another board. It seems highly unlikely that you'd end up with two dead mobos in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sti-06 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I have never updated my bios before and dont know how to do it. Also dont have floppy drive. As I said nothing comes to screen, how can I flash bios since I cant even get to see bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti-06 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 update: I got my computer diagnosed and they said. It is about the memory compatibility. I really loved the OCZ reaper designed and wanted to use it but I guess I need to get a replacement. I tried crappy ram from dell when I was diagnosing and it didnt work so I dont know what ram to get now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti-06 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I am looking at Corsair XMS2 which has 1.8v instead of 2.1 any idea if it will work? here is qvl for motherboard http://www.ecsusa.com/DLfile/manual/qvl/A770M-A_V1.0.pdf Edited January 19, 2008 by sti-06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are issues with some boards not being able to boot with the 1.8v they put out and the RAM requiring more volts as stated in post #22, 23, 24 of this thread. Some people were taking a cheap 1.8v stick and booting then changing the RAM voltages then shutting down and replacing the RAM. Most of those issues on most boards were solved by a bios update...

sti-06 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 ok I upgraded the bios and still same thing. Boots up with crappy ram, not with the new ones. They do work all together but when i take off the old ram it doesnt boot. Can anyone direct me waht to do on bios to adjust the voltage? American Trends bios.

Put the crap RAM in boot into the bios, change the DDR Voltage to what you RAM is spec for, shut it down and change the RAM.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Dimm in this bios. Edit: You can add up to .63 volts so that would make it a total of 2.43 volts I am assuming the board is 1.8 stock. So add what you need for your RAM... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
