Hi all, first post, looking for some advice on troubleshooting this issue.
I picked up one of the cheap LGA 1155 Inventec motherboards off eBay a few months ago and paired it with an old E3-1240 I had laying around.
Everything works fine when I run this setup with DDR3 ECC RAM, but when I try to run regular DDR3 UDIMMS i get 4 beeps. I get the same 4 beeps when RAM is not seated properly or when i use incompatible RAM, so I'm positive it's a RAM issue.
The DDR3 sticks I'm using are known good, and I've tried every configuration I can think of, single, dual, quad 2gb and 4gb sticks, but I always get the 4 beeps unless i'm using ECC RAM.
Is this a compatibility issue, or something else? The Xeon appears to be compatibile with UDIMMS, but I can't get it to work at all.
Any advice appreciated.
