I'm having some trouble with the above configuration.

Whenever I power the PC on, the result seems to kinda vary. Sometimes it'll just stick on debug code 13, sometimes 01, sometimes 1F, sometimes 2D, sometimes it'll look like it's actually progressing, then give 2 and 4 beeps. At no point is there any output from the GPU, though sometimes, when it manages to do the beeps, the monitor will get woken up almost immediately before the motherboard reboots itself. If I have no GPU plugged in, then if it gets to the beeping stage, it will this time beep for 2, 4, then 5.

The debug codes it tends to stop at all relate to memory, as far as the manual says. Though the manual really isn't descriptive at all - I'm not sure they they couldn't just ask engineering for what all the 256 different codes actually mean.

I got the motherboard and CPU used, but I have tried with two brand new sticks of RAM - the one listed above, and a 16GB Samsung ECC UDIMM (M391A2K43BB1-CTD), both with the same result.

I'm hoping the issue is just due to a potentially too old BIOS version, but I have no way to tell what the current version is, short of reading directly from the BIOS chip, which I don't really have the tools to do.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

Tried with a single RAM stick. Tried every slot.

Reseated CPU.

Tried two different brand new RAM sticks.

Cleared CMOS more times than I can recall.

Tried with and without GPU.

Post relevant photos of build/parts here.

I recorded 4.5 minutes of attempting to POST. Sorry it's vertical - I didn't have a better way to mount my phone.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

The CPU did come with some bent pins with some dried paste when I got it, but I straightened and cleaned them up before seating.
