An old gaming PC with Fatal1ty X99 mainboard. Would not boot - no beeps
codes. It has a hex status display, which did not light up. The fans
run, but no activity on DVD drive. Removed graphics card, no change.
Removed both DIMMS and then hex display lit up and got beep code for bad memory. So put one DIMM in a different slot, power on and smelt smoke.
Looked closely, but cannot see what burnt. Removed the DIMM, powered on
again, now no beeps, no display, it is totally dead. Tested the power
supply, that still works. Tried the graphics card in another PC, and
that works. So tossed both DIMMs in the bin.
