when you start the computer does it keep restarting?

Do you get display when you turn on your motherboard? can you go into bios?

 

[cheriley]

no i get nothing. fans run, hd runs. no beep with or without mem installed

 

[Vahe Bro A]

have you plugged in the 4pin CPU power connecter and the 24pin motherboard connecter?

it's the yellow 4 pin next to the 24 pin

 

[cheriley]

yes

well your board supports 1333 but it has to be overclocked to see that speed. and when you put a memory in it downgrades to 1066 until you go into bios and change it to 1333.

lets reset your cmos. Unplug everything. unplug the power supply unplug the 24pin and the 4 pin and locate the cmos battery it's behind the white PCI express slot. leave the Cmos battery out for 15 mins so all the power get's drained and it reset's. then put it back in and connect everything back. Make sure your RAM's are properly placed too.


BEFORE doing what i told you. i want you to do one thing. Even if you think you have connected the Memory correct redo it. Take out the memory Put it in straight half way then click the left side in (where there is no lock) then when you are Pushing in the side where there is a lock push it in hard and fast so the Auto lock, lock's in by it's self. if you have to push up the lock then you did not do it correctly.

will do. gonna be couple minutes. i took it out to test the cpu and power supply on a different mobo

 

[Vahe Bro A]

it's not your CPU and power supply. that i know

 

[cheriley]

still nothing with mem installed correctly. battery out now. i really think its the board now. with no mem installed it still doesnt beep. its a new board so not sure what cmos would have to do with it but hey why not

 

[Vahe Bro A]

well that motherboard is not going to beep because it does not have a Debugger or a case speaker built in. here is a case speaker that will make the motherboard beep

[cheriley]

balls. no speaker. balls. thnx. i hate computers.

 

[cheriley]
