Latest tests on mobo setup ASUS K8N-DL + 2 AMD OPTERONS.. per suggestions you all have kindly made....
It sat idle for the last year, and two days ago I tried to bring it up and it got hung in the BIOS area in a cyclic fashion. Previously it had run fine for several years. Now the mobo has never posted completely, and beeped one-short (Anybody have any idea about beep codes for this mobo are? ASUSTEK does not show them on line) . It did show my two optical drives, the original hard drive as well as one I added, in addition to identical 6 memory sticks..mem total 6.134 Gigs. I then cleared cmos and reseated all the memory and then the memory showed 5.762 Gigs, 417Mb shy. I then unplugged all IDE and SATA devices and started trying each of the 6 (identical) memory sticks in slot A1 per mobo manual... same response. A1+A2 showed 2048Gig, and with any paired additional B1+B3 or A3+B3 per manual again failed and showed only 3.932 Gig memory. All failed to completely post. I have not yet tried a different power supply plugged just into the mobo. Any suggestions? I would like to get this machine up so that I can at least off load the drives. Someone kindly suggested some Windows software that should be able to read EXT2/EXT3 and thus should at least allow me to grab data. I do have a partially complete usb Linux backup drive. Thus perhaps I can at least try looking at this with Windows? Many thanks for your consideration..
