So last week i bought the Asrock 890GX motherboard from Newegg and the «CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M1A1600C9». Set it up and found that i was getting a error 54 which according to the boards book is «unspecified memory initialization error’. I took everything out of the case and tried the memory in each slot, reset the bios constantly and nothing on screen, no post. I looked on the MEMORY SUPPORT LIST on Asrock’s site and ordered the «Kingston Technology Hyper X 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM (Kit of 2) XMP X2 Grey Series KHX1600C9D3X2K2/4GX» got them today and its the same problem. I have a PII 955 and a AMD XFX 6870. I took everything off bare and still i am getting error 54. Any idea on what is going on? Thanks in advance.

Test with a different cpu.

Think its the CPU.
Test with a different cpu.
You are right. With that error 54 I would get 3 long beeps. Went down to my cousin’s house just now and tested my processor on his Gigabyte AM3 ddr2 motherboard and its the same 3 long beeps and nothing on screen. Dont know but for some reason his processor could not fit on my 890gx Pro3 board. Think he has one of those dual core CPUs AMD released a while back. Think its the 7xxx series. The openings among the pins of both CPUs are spaced differently so i guess thats my answer.

Sounds like it’s the memory controller or check for bent cpu pins. Very very slim chance it could be that his bios has never been updated as well to allow AM3 chips.
Think its the 7xxx series
Wouldn’t work on the 8 series board anyways tbh. The 7 series cpu’s had a DDR2 IMC, incompatible with ddr3.

The cpu has no bent pins, i checked it multiple time on all angles. The cpu gets warm went its on so power is heading that way. Now if its a memory controller problem, then is it that i have to RMA this board back to Newegg?

Help any one? I want to know if its the board, «memory controller or the processor gving off that error 54.

Try a different stick of ddr3 on the board if available. Although I am still pretty sure it’s the cpu.

ASrock uses Dr Debug, error 54 is memory. Either wrong settings in EUFI, or wrong ram, wrong slots or something. Check mobo manual.(page 37).
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=890GX Pro3
EDIT;
also according to newegg detailed info (features)on that RAM;
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desk…
«4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 for AMD and Intel Dual and Triple processors. Operates in Single Channel mode when installed individually».
that may be the issue.
For the Kingston, Clear cmos(page 29 mobo manual), check the Ram voltage settings using UEFI(page47) set to 1.65v.

I sold the Corsair and got the Kingston Hyper x memory that i saw on the support list from Asrock’s Site and its the same issue. I have no other way of testing so i am gonna go and buy the Phenom x4 965, or if i can find that FX 4100 BD cpu. Maybe it is the memory controller on my Phenom II 955 gone bad. It gives the same 3 long beeps in my cousin’s board so i think if i get another CPU that could solve the issue.

Кратко перечислю и опишу некоторые коды:
00
(Необходимо проверить правильно ли установлен процессор и сбросить CMOS)
0d
(Проблема связана с памятью, видеокартой или другими устройствами. Необходимо сбросить CMOS, вытащить, вставить оперативную память и видеокарту, а также извлечь другие USB и PCI устройства)
01 – 54 (кроме 0d), 5A — 60
(Проблема связана с памятью. Необходимо переустановить процессор и оперативную память, потом сбросить CMOS. Если проблема останется, необходимо установить только один модуль памяти или использовать другой модуль памяти)
55
(Оперативная память не обнаружена. Необходимо переустановить процессор и оперативную память. Если проблема останется, необходимо установить только один модуль памяти или использовать другой модуль памяти)
61 — 91
(Ошибка инициализации чипсета. Необходимо сбросить или очистить CMOS)
92 — 99
(Проблема относится к PCI-E устройствам. Необходимо заново установить PCI-E устройство или установить в другой слот. Если проблема не исчезнет, то необходимо извлечь все PCI-E устройства или использовать другой видеоадаптер)
A0 — A7
(Проблема связана с IDE или SATA устройствами. Необходимо переподключить IDE и SATA устройства. Если проблема останется, необходимо очистить CMOS и попробовать отключить все SATA устройства)
b0
(Проблема связана с оперативной памятью. Необходимо переустановить процессор и оперативную память. Если проблема останется, необходимо установить только один модуль памяти или использовать другой модуль памяти. * Для моделей X79, необходимо установить память в слоты DDR3 A1, B1, C1 и D1)

I recently purchased an Asrock 890GX Pro3 mobo because my older one was cracked in shipping (lesson learned…never ship something fragile via USPS, regardless of insurance). I connected everything, then tried to start it, but I got no post. Instead, I got error code 54, which, according to my manual, means «unspecified memory initialization error».
This sounds pretty ambiguous, and I’m really bummed because I’ve been working on my build for the past 4 weeks trying to get it working again. I imagine there has to be some issue with the memory, and I saw in some forum that my board doesn’t support ECC memory, but I don’t think mine is ECC. I have 2 sticks of 2GB Patriot memory at 1600MHz…here’s the model: Patriot PDC34G1600LLK
If anyone knows what’s up, I’ll be deeply grateful. I’ll buy another few gigs of RAM if I have to, but I’ve put so much money into this thing that it just kills me to have it sitting uselessly around.
Thanks,
xcsteve

You can download and burn a CD using the laptop. Then put the CD in your computer and turn it on. The diagnostics CD will run automatically.

On second thought, I don’t think that will work. When you download the program from Memtest, you have to burn it to an
ISO image.

Yes, I was using an MSI 790FX-GD70, but that’s what broke. Now I’m using the Asrock. I just ordered 4 gigs of G.Skill RAM from the list of accepted memory from Asrock, so I think I’m set…it should come in today, and I’ll hopefully have my desktop up and running again this weekend. I’ll let ya know what happens.
