this issue mostly happens while the users intensively swap memory modules under
S5 (power-off) states, and the power code is plugged while installing modules. Due
to several pins are very sensitive to ESD, so this kind of memory-replacement actions
might cause chipset system unable to boot. Please follow the following solution to
avoid this situation.

power connectors (shown in figure 2 & figure 3) before the 1st installation or during
