I worry the board might be non-functional. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the manual. Here’s my board: https://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherb...SSL-i2.cfm. I managed to power it on, but it keeps giving beep codes after beeps. Fixing the RAM beep resolved some issues, but VGA video still isn’t working properly. I have two CPUs—C2D E2140 and Xeon X3330. I replaced an old AGP card, but it didn’t help. It’s hard to get it to start up. I’m concerned this could be the final outcome. Should I look for a similar board on eBay or another affordable option? I was thinking of using it as a NAS, but now it seems like a losing battle.
