Hi All, hope you can give me advise,
I have an FIC barebones kit(case and mainboard) I brought in May, I finally
finished with help($$$) from friend.
Its an AN19E board, AMD 2500+(boxed w/fan), Crucial 512mb CAS 2.5 ram,
GForce FX5200 and two Maxtor 5400rpm drives; WinXP-PRO, and flashed the BIOS
to support the 2500+ with latest from FIC site, and replaced original 300w
PS with a new Antec TruePower 350w unit
I spent Friday and Saturday building, it was running great, added last of
the needed software 2:00am Sunday. Then
shutdown went to bed. (now wish I left it running!)
Awoke this morning, powered up system to hear a single beep, all the fans
working, drives running, would not read floppy from diskette; cannot boot
into BIOS, blank monitor!
The single beep says DRAM refresh failure, is memory bad? I can't afford to
buy more ram. I reseated everything but the CPU (I hate to touch that
thing, I love AMD but hate the way they build their CPUs)
how could a system that ran great for 20+ hours die after being off for 8?
TIA

Hi Paul
I assume the BIOS flash went OK. My best guess is that something in the
settings of the BIOS is preventing the system from starting. What I would
do is to clear the BIOS with jumper following the procedure recommended by
FIC. Then restart the system. Odds are that it will run. Enter the BIOS
and set the most conservative settings till you sort out what happened.
Good Fortune,
Logan

Thanks Logan!
the flash did go okay, it was the first thing I did after loading XP, It ran
great after several reboots all day Saturday into
Sunday installing service pacs and such. I'm really bummed out! First fast
system only lasted 2 days!  no overclocking,
nothing special and yes conservative settings. None of my friends have a
system I can test the ram.
I called the Crucial, very nice people and they'll replace the ram, I tried
clearing the BIOS and still no go. I'm hoping
it was the ram. Thanks for the help!

make sure the CPU fan lead is well connected, if the motherboard
cant detect the fan spinning then it wont boot. remove lead and replug
in. If still no boot normally the hold insert key while booting to get
into the BIOS and then set to disable FOC function. Also reseat the
video card. More than likely the board is still good, but there's a
snafu somewhere. You can also disconnect ALL power leads to ALL drives,
and try to boot just video, memory, CPU. That would tell you if you have
a bad power good signal to one of the drives ~

Thanks for the input, I did retry using your recommendations, I put a PCI
video card in and no change. So I'm hoping due to the beep codes, that the
ram (and only the ram!) is bad!!
