Title: Another 890FXA-GD70 problem? Post by: Bitcoin Swami on September 13, 2011, 10:33:09 PM I just returned one 890 FXA GD70 cause it wouldn't even start (just a click from the power supply and thats it). I got a new one and had it all set up and the fan at least starts and there are a couple lights but thats it. No video, no Bios, not even a debug code.
I am using an AMD Sempron 145 processor... ocz 1000 w power supply one little stick of memory. When I remove the memory same thing happens. If i remove the chip at least the debug code comes on. Not sure whats going on. Anyone else had this problem. I'd hate to have to return Another one. Title: Re: Another 890FXA-GD70 problem?

Post by: Bitcoin Swami on September 14, 2011, 04:27:31 PM Turns out its the CPU. I switched one of my old cpus and it booted up just fine.
Just making sure. The 890FXA-gd70 is compatible with the sempron 145 right? I tested it with the 140 and it works. The AM3b socket mean anything? Actually relieved that its just the chip. Thanks Mike |
