i bought an abit kv8-max3 off another member on this board for extremely cheap ($40) a while ago (from blurredvision). I never put the computer together to test because i was slowly building the computer and wasn't in a rush.
today i finally got a chance to put it all together and it won't even post. i pull everthing out except the ram, cpu, and graphic card and it still doesn't work.
i know the graphic card works because i tested on my friend computer. the only 2 thing that i can't test is the motherboard and the ram (since my friend's computer doesn't use ddr ram)...
help?
kv8-max3 with 1stick infineon gb ddr ram - no post, code 2A
kv8-max3 with geforce ti4600 - no post, beep constantly because there's not memory.
kv8-max3 with ram & geforce - no post, code 2a
now i'm getting suspicious that "blurredvision" knowingly sold me a bad mobo (since it was so cheap $40 shipped) and the ram should be good right since the mobo beep when i turn it on without ram.
