Crosshair v formula-z post problem

Tessarel

Got my system set up yesterday, crosshair v formula-z motherboard, fx 6300 processor, cmp8gx3m4a1600c8 corsair ram. It all worked well. then today it suddenly wouldnt post. just has the FF q code and solid cpu light. use the go button, then it flashes for the dram led. read that alot have had this issue, so i pulled everything out. took it out of the case and put only 1 ram stick in and connected power. did the same thing with FF code and solid cpu light on pressing the start button. then flashing dram led after pressing the go button. tried another processor and another type of ram and still have the same issue. pulled the cmos battery as well. Im at a loss at what to do now since it was working just fine. Any help would be appreciated

RMA the board it seems something has caused your board to stop.

How old is your PSU?

That is more than a few years old. I had one of those in 2009 🙂

Can you test with another PSU please. I hope that it was not the PSU, and that the PSU took your board and CPU with it.
