Posted April 21, 2016 So I recently bought some new hardware (combined with an old CPU) to build my own NAS, Mobo: Intel DH61DL CPU: i3 3220 RAM: 2x4GB Kingston HyperX 1333MHz When I power it on there is no POST and I get 3 long beeps that repeat, this would usually indicate a RAM issue, but I have tried all combinations of 1 DIMM in each slot, and even some other (known working) RAM from my machine. I also tried resetting the CMOS and reseating the CPU. But I still get the beeps. Could it be anything else? Thanks #MakeBombs 3x3x3 Time: 15.76s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 21, 2016 Intel website clearly indicate that 3 beeps is a memory error http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000005473.html Have you checked that the contacts on the socket are clean ?

I can't SEE anything, but I sprayed them with some compressed air and reseated the RAM again and I get the same issue #MakeBombs 3x3x3 Time: 15.76s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 21, 2016 Although unlikely, you should check there is no bent pins on your cpu socket.

I did check when I first reseated my CPU, but I just checked again and reseated it again and couldn't see anything #MakeBombs 3x3x3 Time: 15.76s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 21, 2016 Maybe a bad mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 21, 2016 I'm out of idea, is the mobo new or did you get it on ebay/craiglist ?

Posted April 21, 2016 Author Just now, William Briot said: I'm out of idea, is the mobo new or did you get it on ebay/craiglist ? It was from eBay, but it was never opened. So brand new #MakeBombs 3x3x3 Time: 15.76s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 21, 2016 Author I tried the new RAM in my computer and it worked fine, it is not a fault with the RAM, most likely the RAM slots How could I further diagnose? #MakeBombs 3x3x3 Time: 15.76s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
