KV8-MAX3 POST code 0.1

[jnwatkins]

Alright,

I have a KV8-MAX3 and it worked and one day it would not power up at all and there is a 0.1 POST code and I looked in the manual and it says something to the effect of expand xcodes in memory address 10000:0 and I tried replacing the memory and it gave the same code, I tried calling ABIT and they were no help, they could not tell me what that meant. None of the fans will power up when I push the on/off switch...nothing happens at all.
I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me on this matter. I am at work most of the time and I do not often have a chance to check the internet, if you would like to post a response so that others with the same issue could look at this information online that would be great but I would really appreciate an email with some information to joshnwatkins@yahoo.com as I check my email regularly. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated, looking at those error codes in the manual is like reading flippin' martian sometimes.

JN,

Please tell us what you can about your system- Memory, CPU, Power Supply, OS, video card, HDs, etc.- it helps in evaluation.

I'll hazard a guess and say this looks like a power supply if you have no fans, but I would think you would have other dead devices too. I also suspect you might have multiple problems- but let's do this one thing at a time.

If you have or can borrow a spare power supply (actually it never hurts to have an extra around either) of a larger rating (more wattage and more amps on the 12V rail- Antec comes recommended by many here) I would try that.

This will also give you a chance to revisit all your power and button/switch connections. I'd suggest actually removing and reseating each, double-checking that you have your connectors aligned with the right pins.

There is more we could play with, but let's try this for now. Hope it helps :thumbsup:
