Hi ,
I had this motherboard from a long time , and i have had problems many a time with the RAM slots.
My Config is :
Nvidia 98800GTX
2x500gb Hard Drive SATA
Corsair 2x2gb RAM XMS2 DHX
Intel Core-2 Quad 6700 2.66ghz Processor
ABS Tagan 700w PSU
Okay , so the problem is , i used my PC for quite a while , and had no issues with it , until after a few days , after powering off and trying to turn it on the next day , it kept giving me F6 Error , i.e , Memory Error's . So i just pulled out one of my RAM sticks and then continued to use my PC . After powering down , i tried the different RAM slots inserting the various combinations of RAM , and found out that one of the RAM sticks turned out to be faulty , so i just disposed the faulty RAM stick , and continued to use the PC , with just one RAM stick (2gb).
Then about a year later , the same thing happened , BIOS wasnt booting , and i had the same old F6 Error , so then i thought it would be the same thing , i tried moving the RAM to different RAM slots , but to no avail , i was still getting the Error .
So i went to a PC store , and i bought myself another DDR2 Ram stick (2gb) - Silicon Power - 800 - and then stuck it into my PC , and then i kept getting errors , after reading that i had to reset CMOS , i did it , and then put it in different RAM slots , but then in 3 of the RAM slots , i keep getting the same F6 Error , but in one of the RAM slot , i kept getting a "1D" Error .
Upon googling , i tried , and i removed the motherboard out of the cabinet , and connected everything breadboard style , to see if something might have been interfering with the system , but then even after connecting it breadboard style , i still have the same results .
Can anyone help me please ? is my motherboard dead ?
