Rampage IV Gene restart loop on first power up.

[TheMuffinOfEvil]

I have an Intel X79 3930 in it.
One stick of Corsair 4gb 1600mhz Ram.
A Nvidia GTX 260 that I know for 100% sure works hooked to a monitor I know works.
No disk drives or hard drives even plunged in yet. Power supply is an 800 watt Xtream gear I know works as well.
I cannot get to post, I get no video signal, pressing the start button on motherboard has it try to boot, runs through a ton of codes on the display, stops at 01 turns off and starts up again after a few seconds. I have tried moving the ram around, changing ram sticks, hitting the reset cmos button, no dice. Any help would be appreciated.

I would reset the Bios. Flash using Bios Flashback to latest Bios using USB stick fat formatted. Reset Bios again with CPU out of the socket and battery removed. Rebuild, making sure you dont overtighten the PU cooler. Make sure all PSU connections are made including the 8 pin behind the CPU socket, then try again with one stick furthest socket from CPU and if possible with a different type of RAM.

Post back how you go. 01 often means the IMC cant meet frequency set but this is probably not the case at 1600mhz, well it should not be.

This is my first asus motherboard, can you tell me what Bios flashback is and how to do that when the thing wont boot at all, I am a bit confused.

I followed all your instructions, still having the same issue. What should my next move be, any help is greatly appreciated.

[Arne Saknussemm]

Have you taken the CPU out and reseated it...checked the socket to see if all the pins are lined up correctly?

What is the exact model of RAM?

I think you sghould still follow what I suggested above and post back how this goes.

I have reseated the processor, pins are all lined up. The ram is corsair vengence seriel number on back CM3X4GBA1600C9V4

A friend with more experience came over and removed the processor, inspected, and reseated it, he assures me everything is hooked up properly, no idea why it isn't working.
