You don't get 20 points.
Changed PSUs and got steady power but wont post again.

damn, maybe your computer just doesnt like you

wait, when you tried the ram one slat at a time, did u try all the sticks or just one?

 

[Motorcharge]

Both of em.

 

[ganzey]

is this with the motherboard you just bought? if so, can i see a link to it?

ALSO: did you make sure the boot priorities in the bios are set to boot from the hdd first?

 

[Motorcharge]

Traded someone on here for it.

Seems to be a very, very common problem with this motherboard, just can't seem to find a solution. Seems to just be very random.

 

[ganzey]

AAAHHHHH, that mobo takes DDR3 ram, u got DDR2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Motorcharge]

Just saw that, wrong link, hold on.

Wrong one, fixed in the post above as well.

 

[ganzey]

have you reset the CMOS?

 

[Motorcharge]

Yeah, the previous owner reset it before he shipped it and I reset it earlier.

 

[ganzey]

u might wanna do it just to make sure, its easy, just unplug the power cord and pop out the mobo battery for 30 seconds then put back in.

 

[Motorcharge]

I just said it's been done twice lol

 

[lovely?]

lol. your sure you have the +4 hooked up correctly? i didnt have it right once on an AMD board and it didnt want to start up.

 

[ganzey]

Yeah, the plug only fits in one spot.

Not long enough to do anything.

 

[ganzey]

hmm, so its not a mem problem, psu, hdd, graphics. could it possibly be your cpu?

 

[Motorcharge]

Better not be.

I'm leaning towards it being the Bios. Seems a lot of people had memory problems due to the default Bios, but had no problems with the actual memory. Only problem is I don't have a different stick to try to see if thats it.

 

[ganzey]

maybe you could try flashing the bios, there is probably some updates out for it.

bios has been flashed and updated last year, to allow it to support 45nm quad cores. any memory issues in the bios would have been dealt with. in my experience, the board never ever failed to post, and always loaded the os just fine.

 

[ganzey]

but maybe it was corrupted, he could always try. but honestly, it sounds like the cpu. if your previous board did this and we eliminated all the other stuff...
