Guys,

I was wondering if it might be the motherboard. Cpuz says that the southbridge is 700. The asus website says that the board i have is a 710. I know cpuz can be unreliable sometimes. With the...

Hi Snowman,

I'm gonna have a go at finding the bad core. Seems abit strange that its booted without core 2 though don't you think. Surely that cant be a bad core. I've disabled cool & quiet again...

At last I seem to have had a little bit of success after some trial and error tweaking.
Cpuz is now showing AMD phenom ii x 4 deneb. It is only showing 2 cores and 2 threads though so i don't think...

Guys,
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try a few more tweaks such as enabling and disabling certain cores. The bios has shown up to six cores, but whether 3,4,5 or 6 will unlock is another matter....

Guys,

I got it all sorted.
Upped the volts to 1.8. Set all the memory manually and have the running at 7-7-7-24 and 1333 mhz ( i'm happy with that). NB volts at 1.250 and the cpu v memory at...

Got it running with 2g (2 x 1g) in single channel mode. Bios has memory at 1333mhz. So its got to be the other 2g of ram that stopped it booting.
I'm abit out of my depth with this at the moment....

Hey Mescalamba,


It's a gamble i know, but the guy seems genuine
The actual fault code is A0 and not 80 as i thought, so your assumption of it being a memory issue could be right.

Can you...

Hi UNIX,

Hi Guys,
