hello there
i just got a M7NCG 400 and im trying to install it but when i put the power the fans start, the cdroms and the harddrives start spinning normaly but i dont have anything on the monitor...

Well the fact that the drives spin just means they are getting power... not that the system is supposed to work

ok thx...
i read alot reviews and they all say that this mobo hates some type of ram...
but its wierd because i tried with 2700 ram too and it doesnt work...
so do u think if i get another ram that works with this mobo and add the one i bought already, will it work?

In general you're not supposed to mix PC1600/PC2100 with PC2700+
