Trying to track down why my replacement board, an X10SRA, won't complete POST with a CPU and RAM that used to be fine. The previous board was an Asrock X99WS which underwent some form of rapid decompressive failure - something went bang and I can't see which component failed, though I expect whatever it was ended up as smoke.
So I've plugged in the same CPU (Xeon E5-1650v3) and memory (4x 8GB ECC UDIMMs) - the new board powers up, but the POST code display stops at 67 and the board won't boot. If I remove the memory completely, I get the "no RAM" beeps and code 53.
The manual seems to say that UDIMMs are only supported by the i7 processors - but I'm not sure if that's the cause of the failure here. The description for code 67 is wonderfully useless, "CPU DXE initialization (CPU module specific)" so I'm otherwise stumped.
Edit: The only device connected is the video card and USB keyboard. No drives, USB mouse, other devices etc.
Any suggestions?
