Installed a new BFG 680i board tonight.
Wouldn't come up, had an LED error code of F6. This code isnt listed in the book, so I called BFG. They hadnt seen it either.
So.. I strip the board down, out of the case.. only power.. CPU and 1 stick of ram in the BANK0 slot, and a video card (7600GT for ease of use).
Nothing else, not even keyboard.. still get immediate F6 error. So i had BFG tell me he was calling it a DOA. So I took it back and get a direct replacement and just got it home, ONLY hooked up the above mentioned items.. results? F6 error..
***? I thought maybe I had a CPU issue, so I grabbed a known good P4 3.0 out of a running machine and put it in.. F6 error.. I have cleared CMOS, run it without the battery. blah blah..
what am I missing here? surely I dont have two back to back boards with an unknown error, something on my end is wrong, only thing I havent swaped out is the PS.. which is POSSIBLE.. but unlikely. Since it worked fine before I removed it from the Asus board it had been powering.
I am at a loss, now I am not sure I had a bad board when i sent back the first BFG.
PLEASE HELP SOON!..
