Need help with IP-35 Pro C1 error

[Khorne]

IP-35 Pro
OCZ Reaper PC2 6400 2GB Dual CH

Bought New DDR2 Memory
Removed CMOS Battery
Reseated processor, graphics card, motherboard connections
Still get C1 Error

Intermediate user, any suggestions for what to do next to diagnose further?

Have you tried just having 1 stick of memory in there?

[Khorne]

I've tried one stick in every slot, both sticks, and I bought another stick (A great waste of $70.) to no avail.

[Jonj1611]

Can you get into the bios at all?

[Khorne]

No, when I start it up it doesn't load anything and my other devices act as if it isn't even on.

Hi

I had the same problem when using crucial ballistixs, the bios selects the voltage as 1.8v on auto but the crucial needs 2.2v to run upped the voltage and booted first time

Yeah I have heard of something similar, maybe try to get some cheap generic ram and see if you can use that to at least access the bios, then set the ram speed and voltage manually.

I just bought some more, tried it in every slot, and still the same error. Any other ideas?

[Jonj1611]

Hmm, I guess you may have done it, have you tried resetting the bios?

hey folks im back, nice to be here again cant beleive my review for the ip35 pro is still a sticky.

Some of the feedback I gave whent into the design of this board, so I feel I should help out.

C1 as discussed above is related to memory problems and indeed it could be due to the JDEC standard.

D9 micron RAM (such as crucial ballistix) needed an awful lot of juice to get going, PFC (such as the ocz reapers) ram not so much

Insert a module of non branded ram, if you live in yorkshire pop around to my gaff and I will give you a stick of kingston so you can alter the ram settings in the biuos buddy
