So I'm going to order new RAM to test, I want to go 2133 following the Asus QVL but I'll be honest, I'm super unsure of what to get. Does it matter if it's quad or single channel, does the CL number matter, do the timings matter (xx-xx-xx-xx-T#)
Everything is set to auto, the weird thing is once I clear the CMOS and remove the battery it works goes right to install windows, then when it reboots to finish install it hangs on 19. Every time it does that. When I get into the BIOS the first time both sticks read.
All is working well with the ES Xeon but I keep getting it to hangs on post code 25 then 41 then stays at 19. I can't install windows and the only way it gets past that is if I take out the battery and reset the BIOS. It reads both sticks of RAM cause I thought it was a memory error. Any advice.
Went and bought a 6800 k and still no luck, took the RAM out got post code beeps. I didn't count how many cause I was in shock it was working. Can't get into the BIOS no output and nothing. Could it be the board and RAM. The gpu works
So let's say I return this one, is it likely to order a different ES Xeon from a different seller and actually have it work? Or should I just save my pennies for a 5820k or a CPU in that line up. Main use will be video editing and game design. Or should I look for an older V3 Xeon
