division specifically to person who answers, even if you call Fremont) If they say there are no QVL 32GB tell them you want a refund, or switch it at MC for an R4E which has lots of known good 32GB 64GB working RAM. >Call back ASUS and ask them what to do and get the guys name who advises you (Always ask for Fremont Ca. Have you tried your RAM again - 2 sticks D1 B1 setting XMP in bios if it boots, then 8?Īt this point, unless someone has in hand WS X79 experience they dont even dare offer a suggestion.

I do tend towards 1.5V RAM not 1.65V, or using coupla 1.5V RAM to get the board going then going with fast stuff. I would also look very carefully at LGA with one of those 3' round magnifiers in good light Maybe using just 2 sticks in D1 B1 avoided a bad slot We now have those stupid one side open/one side fixed RAM slots It may just have been the second time around you got the sticks all the way down and level. I could see it not RUNNING right, but not booting? RAM listed for deluxe wont even boot for WS? There's a 32 g.skill kit listed as compatible on the g.skill site but that's only 1600, I was hoping to overclock the memory bus a little. In the Asus QVL there's no combination of more than 16GB so I'd have to go take chances again. The kit that I bought is listed on the g.skill website as compatible with P9X79 Deluxe, but WS is not in the list, i guess for a good reason. I'm gonna put the stuff back together into the case and hopefully I won't run into more issues. I rushed to microcenter and picked up two sticks of Corsair 2GB and tried it out. They went through my set up and when it came to the memory the rep looked it up in the qualified vendor list and couldn't find it so refused to help me any further until I replace it with modules that were on the list. After trying with a different PSU, pulling out cables from ssd and optical drive, trying different combinations for fan+headers and taking the motherboard out of the case to no avail, I was ready to RMA the board and called Asus support. Please let me know any suggestions for my particular set up (i really dread having to swap out the ($$600 and hard to find) 3930k CPU. I'm suspecting the PSU and will check that with psu tester tomorrow but i was wondering, how common is it that the mobo power led turns on and the psu is still faulty? Is power=red the normal color? None of the diagnostic leds turn on, there's no accoustic signal and no POST. When I turn the PSU switch on, the Power and Reset LED switches on the mobo turn on Power is RED and Reset is green, however when I power on the computer (either through the mobo Power led switch or the case power), fan spin for a split second and then everything is quiet. Question Dell, 1 beep, fans go then stop, no post.I've just finished putting together a system with an Asus P9X79 WS mobo and i7-3930k CPU (full setup below). Question No VGA / POST after updating BIOS to v1704 on ASUS P9X79-E WS ? Question ASRock Boot/VGA POST status checker lights flash then nothing.anyone seen this ? Question Error 15 : Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 (v.1), won't POST after installation ? Question Aorus Elite B550 no post after editing secure boot settings Blank screen, No POST, Green led on, Fan spins Question HP Compaq Elite 8300 Turns on then turns off right away. Question How do I fix my motherboard not POSTing after enabling REBAR ? message about cpu fan or something of the sort. TL DR Tried turning on, no luck, cable was disconnected. I flashed again and tried turning it on, but no luck with post again. The blue light was flashing for quite sometime and then finally turned off. I found that maybe its the bios so I followed the instructions and flashed the latest bios via my USB. I tried turning it on again and checked to see if any cables had been disconnected. I decided to look into it and see if that could be fixed in the bios, but then all of a sudden my computer shut down. I go into bios for setup and I see some message about CPU fans or something of the sort. Then another loud beep and I see a red LED on by the cpu. Just as I'm putting the side of the case back on, I heard a loud beep. After reconnection, I tried turning it on again and it turned on. The culprit turned out to be on the side of the PSU and it must've come out in the mess of all the other cables. I tried restarting multiple times and then finally checked inside to find that there was no power going to the motherboard for some reason even thought the 24 pin connector was plugged in. I tried turning it on (and it turned on) but, there was no video nothing. So I connected every cable step by step with organization then took the tower and put it in its place and connected all the peripherals.
