Rambai

Hi guys,

Hope someone here with vast knowledge can help a dying man starved from just looking at BF3 in a box.

Bought a new pc to play bf3 config is
New Parts


XFX ATI Radeon 6950 2GB PCI-E HDMI

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro CPU Cooler
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz S1155 6MB-

ASRock P67 Pro S1155 Intel P67 DDR3 ATX
Corsair -8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 XMS3 1600Mhz DIMM CL9 1.65V
Antec-Six Hundred V2 Mid Tower Gaming Case - Black


Old Parts


OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply
Two Sata hard drives
One Disc Drive

I put everything to gether but when i press the power on button, My Pc starts spinning, Fans etc but no post screen comes up nor any beeps from my pc. I connected the connectors the best i could not the best instructions my last build the mother board was colour coded so it was noob proof.

I can take pics if its any help

Any sugestions are welcomed

Did you connect the 8 pin power to the connector closet to the cpu?

Rambai

Ya i think its beside the memory slot, I hope its just something small like a connector in the wrong place

Is your ram in the same colored slots...hard to tell from the pics.

Rambai

Yes there in the white slots 2x4gb

I would take out the hard and sata drives for a start and and connections to case for front panel or usb.Just keep the on/off switch connected.

Make sure screws are not to tight that hold the mobo in place.

It might be the ram thats causing issues.I would say try just one stick at a time.Check the manual for what slot to use for a single stick.If no luck with that try other stick.

Failing that i would try rebuilding it outside the case with just the basics just in case there is a short somewhere.

Does 1155 only like ram with 1.5 volt only or am I thinking something else..

It can use 1.65v but they say to use lower voltage sticks.I use 1.65v sticks on my Asrock board and works fine.

Still no joy, might strip it back to cpu and start again

Shame,do you know anyone that has a system that you would be able to test ram on?

Rambai

Na il just strip it back to the start if nothing il just have to bring it in to a pc store and get it looked at.

Cheers for all the comments.
