    Re: New mobo + 5870 no POST

    Update:

    Got this mobo and still no post:

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/presenta...000102&pid=257

    At least this board has digital leds, im getting code 2A, and from im seeing after googling AMI code 2A I cant seem to find a definitive answer. ANy ideas guys? Board seems to POST normally without the 5870, I can hear it make 8 beep codes and then a final post beep so Im sure the board is fine.
    But can it posibly be that this 5870 is also incompatible with this board like the previous asrock was incompatible?
    Im totally stumped here.

    Update:
    Noticed this mobo comes with pci e switch card for the 2nd slot. I installed it and now at least im getting beeps. Im not sure if this is an AMI bios or Phoenix but im hearing 2 quick short beeps and then 8 normal beeps and then 2 more short beeps.

    Im still thinking its this damn 5870. Im thinking of selling it and getting a diferent brand after reading plenty of horror stories like mine.

    UPDATE:

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!

    It was indeed this quirky xfx 587o causing the no POST

    I got a new Asus 6950 and it POSTs fine now.

    Whew, after 4 long months I can finally get back to some gaming

    GRATS! Planning on RMA'ing that XFX and letting them know how many hours it cost you??
    "The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us...
    Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business."

    RMA? Pffft, Im selling it to someone that has a board it works with.
    Yeah I let xfx tech support know how I feel working with it.
