Precision 470 will not post

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has run into a issue with the Precision 470 that is showing a beep code of 1-3-2 and fully replaced the RAM and still having the same beep code. I was fortunate to have another one laying around, so I decided to start swapping out memory with the good one and still same issue then I swapped out power supply to test and now the one that was good is having the same beep code sequence and the bad one....

Update: Same beep code when I remove all RAM and also when I remove the graphics card.

 

Thanks

P

    echo317,
    All signs are pointing toward a failed motherboard. What color are the diagnostic LEDs?

    A green yellow green yellow pattern indicates memory modules are detected but a memory configuration or compatibility error exists. Since you say you have another Precision 470 and tried swapping known-good registered DDR2 RAM in from that machine it still looks like the problem is with the motherboard.

    Exact same thing happened to me recently. New mobo and back in business. Scored a used mobo, two CPUs, VRM and two heatsinks for under $100/shipped on eBay.
