I am building a new machine, with a Asus A88XM-A board and an Athlon X4 860K processor. and 8 meg of ram
I have checked all the connections, the lights are on but when I try to the initial start up to install the operating system, it gives a short beep then four seconds later a long beep followed by three short beeps then nothing
I have contacted Asus support who suggest the following:-
using a minimised system of just a single hard drive,
1 clear the cmos by removing the battery etc
2 try different known to be working memory sticks in different slots
neither made any difference.
The man from Asus thinks the board may be faulty
before i send the borad back to Amazon has anyone had and solved this problem
