I just finished building my computer and I am having problems. When I start up my computer, it starts beeping one long and two short and nothing comes up on the monitor. All the fans are working and I checked if everything is in place. Also, I reseated the ram and video card a couples times, and I tried clearing the CMOS. :mad: :mad: :mad:

its seems some people there have had an issue with this board and OCZ memory, something about it not being officially supported, one post in particular caught my eye

Friend has the M2N-E with OCZ DDR2-800 2x1GBsticks and it wouldn't post at first until I got some ddr2-533 memory to put in it and boot it then he was able to manually select ddr2-533 and it will run like that. From his research so far it appears that it is related to the memory not being officially supported ie it doesn't like the SPD timings. Seems as if the Corsair is the only stuff that is working right now. For now he is just running DDR2-533 with no stability issues. Might try downclocking yours to ddr2-533 just to see if the stability issues go away.

I agree, I think it's video related. Try pulling the card, powering up, powering back down, then reseating the card. I've had to do that once before with my system.
