I have an ASUS A8n SLI Deluxe
CPU = Athlon 64
I have been using a matched pair of F1-3200USU2
Yeah I know... It's all old stuff
But this setup has worked fine for quite awhile
All of a sudden the mobo wouldn't post and now tests dead
It worked just fine Friday night, shut down normally and wouldn't even beep at me on Saturday
got another mobo (same model)... new one wouldn't post either
changed the CPU to an Athlon 64 x2... no difference
took an Athlon 64 out of my son's computer that was working great... still wouldn't post
so I figured I had a DOA mobo (I guess it happens)
I decided that I would just get my money back for the DOA A8n and upgrade to a mobo that could use DDR2 or 3 and my son asked if he could have my RAM sticks
Remember, his computer was working perfectly a half hour before this.
We put the pair of F1-3200usu2 into his computer and now his computer won't post either
The ONLY thing that we put into his computer from mine was the 2 sticks.
Although we DID put his Athlon 64 back after putting it into both of my dead mobos
Is there any possibility that the RAM sticks are frying the motherboards or wiping out the BIOS or... ?
We're totally stumped
