System says memory controller not available and doesn't boot?

System says memory controller not available and doesn't boot?

Recently I have had a MainBoard-problem. I've send my mainboard to service and today I got it back from the company. It is a Foxconn 520a mainboard. Now I have installed my exchanged mainboard. But now I have a problem. My system boots until the device list with IRQ entries appear. The system says "Verifying DMI-pool-data..." and nothing happens. The IRQ-device list shows that the memory-controller is not available. All other devices have got an IRQ.

"I would return it and say that it still doesn't work.

First, if you can get into the BIOS, do a full restore / settings reset. After this, if you are still having problems - This sounds like a hardware issue and unless you fancy soldering, repairing will simply be more trouble than its worth.

If you haven't done anything to it (e.g. careless installation), I would say that this is a hardware issue when you got it.

RMA returns usually do not get you a new board but a refurbished one, and it is possible that it has an error that they did not know about."
