Tell us what you have already tried. That way we do not repeat things.

do the fans start, are all of the insides wired up correctly like the PSU to mobo connection, simple stuff like that is the first place to start

yeah i wired it up completly.
fans and everything starts.

the mobo shows -- on the small led box it has.
removed all the ram and everything else apart from 1 stick of ram.
still same problem.
disconnected the harddrive and dvd drive.

i think it might be the graphics card. but it was working when i bought it, and since then its been in a bubble wrap in a box.

thanks for the quick replies.

hmm 7950GX2 doesnt strike me as a power saver, is your power supply up to snuff? whats the wattage and brand?

royalmarine · 12-15-2007, 09:33 PM

its hungry enough.
but ive got a 700w modular.

are you sure all of the cpu power inputs are plugged in

royalmarine · 12-15-2007, 09:44 PM

positive.

all connections are in 100%. that was my first thought. so i stripped it down, and went again double checking everything i was doing.

did you try separate sticks or ram or just one?

royalmarine · 12-15-2007, 10:39 PM

tried them all. one at a time, 2, 3 etc.
also tried different ram i have at home.

all same problems.
tried few different harddrives aswel. but all same result.
