Hi,
I think I've already worked this out but would like a second opinion.
Finished rebuilding my htpc with this board and some new ram. Everything else is as was.
Turn it on and drives spin up but no display. So I get a speaker (case doesn't have one) and connect that, no post beeps.
Disconnect everything (disks, pcie card, USB connectors, audio) bar the minimum and try again. Nothing again.
So I remove the RAM and then at last get a post. 3 beeps repeating.
Fairly certain that's it just telling me there's no ram installed - leading me to believe the issue is a faulty ram chip. Don't have another to test with, don't have another compatible pc to try the ram in.
RAM is an 8GB crucial stick with the same part number listed on the asrock compatibility chart - CT102464BF186D.
Just appreciate any thoughts that I might be missing other than RMAing the stick.
