EVGA nforce 680i sli not working

[knightyc]

Ok guys I just got this board this morning after a whole month of waiting for it. I plugged all but a hdd or dvd drive just bare minimum and turn it on and get one long beep and nothing. the led coding on front says c1 manual says

Init memory controller, Overvoltage handling

any idea what this means.

I tried some giel 800mhz 2gb ram ddr2 i also tried to swopped the graphics card and even cleared cmos. £120 this board cost me please dont tell me its screwed

pull the cmos battery, clear cmos, and walk leave it for 10-15 minutes. try a different stick of ram, and reboot. I think its the same problem i had with my old 780i board, in which i needed to rma my one stick of ram. One long beep, and ...nothing.

give it a shot at least. Try different ram in each slot everytime. i doubt its the video card. Most often its a ram problem (at least i've found from experience)

no moved memory but problem is now no beeps nothing fans spin. lights are on. no beeps just - - on the led readout

i seem to recall c1 is a bad error and needs rma, email evga.

did you power the board? (the 4 pin molex near the ram?)

[knightyc]

yeah i did the all the right powering I even tried different psu cpu and 6 different sticks of ram. now just getting the -- error. I emailed EVGA got apsolutley nothing back... It has been 4 days now. the rma will cost me a further £30 to send to them.

Did you clear the BIOS? (reset jumper on the mobo)

[knightyc]

yeah did all that even as far as taking the battery out for a couple of days

[Spawn-Inc]

wow, evga is normaly really good with there service. after 4 days might wanna send a new one?
