I just got some second hand ECC ram blocks (8x4GB) for my personal server. I was running with 2x4GB non-ecc blocks before.
The problem is that the system won't even turn on with the ecc memory. I have tried to boot with all 8 sticks in the system and I have tried to boot with only one stick. Nothing helps. I then tried to boot with 8x4gb non ecc and there was no problems. The motherboard and cpu should be compatible with ecc. My spec are
Intel Xeon E5-2643 0
Intel DX79TO
The new ram is Samsung M393B5170FH0-CH9
Error codes is tree long beeps which intel translates as memory error
Post code is 60 which intel translates to B0 - Boot devices, resetting fixed media.
The system initialization LEDs lights in F which is memory initialization
The system status LEDs lights in F which is CPU error.
I have tried to clear cmos and reboot with the "back to bios" option on the mb.
Run the new memory in single, dual and quad mode.
Am I missing something? Do I have to enable ECC in the bios while booted with the non ecc memory?
Can anyone help me?
Sorry for my poor English, it's not my first language.
