One question:how do you read the Q-Code display? I mean, you put the mobo in vertical position with the display in the upper side or the other way down? I'm asking it beacause I thought the code could be "56" instead of "PS".

Q-Code LED display needs to be in upper right-hand corner, and "56" is the error code for invalid CPU type or speed.
Below is a link to the manual for that motherboard.

Hello Baio73
How does it go if you take out the Mushkin redline and crucial ballistix ram? You don't want to be mixing ram kits like that.

Hi Baio73, As you have the MB outside the case I would undertake and re check these possibilities prior to assy.
If indeed it is QCode 56
1. Carefully inspect your Cpu for bent pins or contaminated socket and reaply thermal paste using the pea method.
2. Make sure you tighten the hold down bracket screws evenly and not too tight.
3. Populate both 8 and 4pin sockets and ensure 24pin is jiggled in tight.
4. Just have one stick of RAM in first DIMM socket initially for post.
With your PSU and DIMMs known to be good it should post even with nothing else connected, and if not and you feel the MB after RMA was returned to you,( in an as was condition) you will need to determine that the MB is indeed the culprit.
With nothing else connected,see where your Qcode takes you before adding in other peripherals.
Lets get to the bottom of this!

I knew that for AMD-based systems the 8 pin connector wasthe only one to plug in.
With HX50 PSU I only have 1 cable that fits.
