GA-X58A-OC not booting error 26

[tomhughes08]

Hi I have purchased this board and I have had some trouble with it. I have installed the board and it has booted a couple of time but now it will not post bios and the error code does not go past 26. It keeps rebooting and hanging on code 26 then restarting the process. I do not know the bios version as the board does not post. When I was entering bios it sometimes says something like failed boot due to overclock or voltages even though i have not overclocked. Please help me

PC Specs:

i7 930 stock at the moment
GA-X58A-OC rev 1
GTX 560 TI 448
Kingston 6gb 1600 DDR3
OCZ 1000w stealth Xstream

Hi

Well it would seem that you have a problem with the initialising of the fan monitors and memory etc. I would double check all your fan connnections and memory modules. Try just leaving one stick in and see if that helps. If not I would suggest trying to clear the CMOS first and then see if you can get further.

Hi

Thanks for your swift reply I have cleared the CMOS and I do not have any fan headers plugged into the board as they are directly plugged into the psu. I will try the ram modules and see if there is any problems with them.

Are you sure it's not 2b, which would be a grapihcs issue?  Can you test with another graphics card to be sure, old or even PCI one would be fine?

2b Invoke vga BIOS

2b
When the system powers on and the Debug LED shows the usual POST code sequence but hangs on 2b or you get a beep code as soon as the sequence reaches 2b, then the Mainboard cant detect your Videocard properly. Note that the POST code sequence might not halt at 2b but continue, so the final POST Code it displays could be FF, 00 or 7F which means the Maiboard booted, entered BIOS, or OC recovery kicked in and is waiting for Input to enter BIOS. Since the Videocard couldnt be detected properly you will only see a black Monitor and either 2b, FF, 00 or 7F. Check if there is something wrong with the Videocard, the PCIE slot or BUS, the Monitor or monitor cable. Turn the Monitor on and off, switch the Monitor cable from one D-SUB or DVI plug to the other in case your Videocard has two. If this doesnt help then reboot and load the optimized defaults. If that doesnt help either try another Videocard if possible, or try the Videocard in another system to make sure its working properly. Try another monitor or try the Monitor on another System.

If you can't test this with another card, please try clearing the CMOS for a few minutes with the PSU switched off as this may help!
