Intel DP55WG PITA
-
Hi, I just got an Intel DP55WG main board. The problem is that when I switch it on, I get an 3b code. The computer doesn't even show the boot screen, hence I cannot access the BIOS. (The error code is not documented in the manual). Then the whole system restarts, and repeats until I switch off the PSU. I tried different memory modules, Gfx cards with no success. Any ideas? Thanks in advance -------------------------------- Specs : CPU : i5-650 Ram : Kingston 1333 DDR3 (4gig) GFX Card : XFX Radeon HD5750 PSU : 650 Watt

Cool. Sounds like completely screwed up hardware. What did Google say about the 3b error?
"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct from natural variation."

Couldn't find anything. I managed to fix the problem though. 2 words : Firmware update :) From what I could see the Intel Mainboard is not compatible with the processor I am using, but the firmware upgrade fixes teh problem. (I am not sure how they could get that wrong, since both are Intel) Thank god I am not a techie full time X|

Ah, I thought you didnt get the BIOS up. Even without a CPU you would still get a BIOS.

In general each new generation of CPU will need slightly different settings to work; getting the settings to the board requires a firmware update. The board may be new to you, but if it was made before the CPU it doesn't matter...
