Configuration:
GA-H55M-UD2H
Intel Core i3 540
Cooler Master GX 750W PSU
Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3D4R9S/4GI (two of these, mounted in white slots)
Speaker
Problem:
When I power on the system I get a continuous series of fast beeps which according to the manual indicates a power error.
Have tried:
Replaced with another motherboard of same type
Originally had one memory module, purchased a second and installed it
Replaced the power supply with this new one
Removed motherboard from case and set on cardboard box
Replaced cpu (originally had i3 530)
Removed backup battery
So essentially I have replaced every component .. power supply, motherboard, ram, cpu and I still get the same problem .. a continuous series of short beeps. The power supply is connected to the 20 pin connector and also to the 4 pin connector on the motherboard. I cannot find any clock speed jumpers, no other power connectors. There is no display connected, no SATA drives, just a motherboard, ram, cpu and power supply.
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong or what I can try next? My thought now is because I have tried two motherboards of the same type that it must be a faulty design in the m/b .. surprising because I have always used Gigabyte m/b's and never had a problem. But this one has me stumped.
