Ok now im starting to get confused.. do you have any ram that works with the motherboard? If yes then you need to get similar ram if not then we look at other possibilities.

Is it possible that i need a 300w to power up this mobo?
they told me that on biostar website

Where does it say that (doesnt say so in the manual either)

I would think you would need a 300W to use it though so it makes sense

its okay to mix the memory types but your computer will run more efficient with the same. ex 3200 with 3200 or 2700 with 2700 instead of just 2700 with 3200. Are you sure your video card works and if the AGP on your motherboard can support it? because a 4x card won't work with an 8x mobo.

I had a similar problem on an Abit mobo. I found that when I seated the RAM, the mobo/ram socket flexed and the RAM did not seat correctly in the middle of the RAM stick. The ends seated fine. Look closer at the RAM to see if all the pins got seated.
