Epox 8K3A+ Dead

Hi,

Had a problem with this mobo.
Was intermittently going to reset and had problems with memory.
DIMM Connector 1 was faulty - took this out.
The mobo has furthermore, DIMM Slots 2 and 3.

I figured this mobo would accept RAM in any socket but mobo
now sits a C0, C1 post code flashing in the onboard post LED
when 512MB DDR DIMM in Slot 2.

Does anyone know with certainty if this mobo requires a DIMM
in DIMM slot 1 to operate?

I have a new socket. Just wanted to save some time rather install the new socket.

Any advice (insight) appreciated
