I'm having a problem with a U10 440MHz which won't come up to screen.

I put it into POST and stuck an ASCII terminal onto it. After it tells
me what simms are present it says "data access error" and stops.

I've tried other simms and tried them in the other bank but it makes no
difference. Also tried other cpus.

Any ideas?

TIA :-)

There was a whole long thread from December 2007 titled:

Ultra 10 - no output to monitor

I think the solution was to pull all the PCI cards as it seemed to be giving
the:

Data Access Error

while probing whatever (SCSI card?) was in PCI slot 1.

You can also try pulling the Creator card if you have one in the machine and
try seeing if you can get video from the onboard VGA.
If pulling the PCI cards and Creator card doesn't solve the problem, then
chances are it's the motherboard.

You already seem to have tried different CPUs and memory so that seems to be
ruled out.
