Hello,
 
I am new to the forums, although I have 3 registered EVGA products so far. I have been very pleased with the performance of all 3 of them, however, one of my motherboards (P55 FTW) crapped out when I tried to install a new HDD.
 
I have tried anything I could think of but no luck. Every time power goes on I hear 9 beeps and that is all (I can't remember the error code that was on the display) - I bought new mobo (Z87 FTW) and CPU and pretty much build a new rig but would like to fix my P55 and put a spare PC together.
 
From what I have been reading, if you get 9 beeps from the mobo you need to contact your "seller" or somebody who fixes computers so they can order the right parts and replace them. Now, I am not sure what kind of parts are needed to be replaced, but I would like to know if I can do it on my own, before spending additional dollars. Mind you, my P55 was bought in 2010, so I have no warranty on it what so ever. 
 
Any help would be appreciated

    One of the things with the P55's is that all of those beeps can be the USB devices being counted.  See if you can look up the POST code again, as that would be far more helpful in figuring out why it's not POSTing.

    6012mhz on L/N2 
    5321mhz on L/N2
    5091mhz on air

    Like I said at the beginning, I do not remember the POST code but I do remeber that I tried to look it up when I had it but could not find any information.

    I am going to put the basic parts together in couple of days and see what I get and update but, the more days past, the more I am thinking of buying another relatively cheap mobo.
