So I just got a new e6400 processor, gigabyte ga-965g-ds3 motherboard, and a gig of corsair xms2 ram. I put it all together about two days ago and everything ran fine. Then I started getting a weird beep on start up. I'm actually not sure if this beep was there the whole time or not because I didnt really pay attention. Its a long then short beep which the book says it is a DRAM or M/B error.
So I updated my bios hoping it would help but it didnt help. It just starts beeping the whole time my computer is on. Its one short beep which means its a power error. Sometimes the beep will be a little longer and the cpu fan will stop but then start up when the beep stops.
Im thinking its the power supply but Im not really sure. I took out all my cards and only have one hard drive plugged in and its a 500W psu. Anothe reason I think it may be the power supply is because the psu only has a 20pin and the mobo has a 24pin...but i didnt think it would be that big of a problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
