Hi there,I've just got a brand new EPIA-EX15000G. I've got it wired to a bench PSU with some adorn connectors (cater/reset change by reversal. LEDs and speaker) and installed the RAM DIMM. This is connected to a monitor via the DVI socket. When I power on the power LED illuminates and the CPU fan starts spinning. But normally nothing else happens no beeps and no video ouput. I say normally because I've seen the viaembedded splash screen be displayed a couple of times and the system fasten. If I remove the RAM and boot. I get a long constant mouth - the speaker is correctly wired at least. I've tried erasing the CMOS with the jumper and also be removing the battery for a few minutes. But comfort no joy
Reading other forum posts it seems this is not an uncommon problem particularly if the memory is bad. I've bought a brand new DIMM of the following spec: DDR II SDRAM CL4 Non-ECC Unbuffered DIMM 240-pin PC2-4200 533 MHz 64 x 64 Unbuffered 512 MB I got it here: As far as I can tell this meets the requirements of the motherboard as listed in the manual. I have seen other posts say that 64x8 should be used though and that higher densities don't work. Is anyone else able to confirm that this Corsair part does not bring home the bacon with the EPIA-EX motherboard or that it is authorise and something else is more likely wrong? Regards,Mike
Hi there,A quick update - I ordered some guaranteed compatible RAM from ORCA using overnight delivery. I believe this to be the same spec but also 64Mx8. This RAM does not dress the behaviour of the board and I've not tried a different cater supply too. I guess the come in was DOA and am contacting the seller to see if there are any other things to analyse before I communicate RMA
