Email from a friend:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
EVGA NVIDIA NFORCE 680i SLI mobo
2X EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS video cards
OCZ PC2 6400 800MHZ SLI ready memory (8 GB = 4x2 GB DIMMS)
Ultra Xfinity 600W SLI ready power supply
I turn on the power button all fans work (including video card fans), all lights work, and reset button works (front panel header hooked up right), the processor appears to properly check initial POST setups (the two digits on the mobo change and cycle through a few codes) Then I get the following error codes:
I get a long beep followed by two short beeps from the internal speaker (according to the beep code it means the video card can't be initiallized)
The two digital displays read 7F which is "POST error check" - "Check POST error and display them and ask for user intervention"
Troubleshooting I've done:
Took one of the video cards out and tested with only one. - same result
Swapped out video cards - both resulted in the same error
Tried both cards individually in the other PCIe slot - same result
Swapped out the memory DIMMS and rearranged them in different slots - same
Reseated ALL components over and over (memory and video cards) - same
verified all power supplies - same
Cleared the CMOS three times (battery removal and jumper setting)
Complete disassembly, processor check, re-assembly - same result.
Don't have a clue at this point...unless I need to update the BIOS for the graphics cards (but they're the same company as the mobo...and the manual specifically states using these video cards with my mobo. So I'm stumped. I emailed the company for advise. Can't imagine BOTH cards on BOTH PCIe slots not working.
