Disconnect and reseat ALL power connections.

Be sure you have the auxiliary ATX power connector connected to the MB.

Cross your fingers.

Does that case have a case speaker? I always add one to give me BIOS beep codes when things don't run as expected.

I had to remove one of the sticks of RAM. Maybe after windows installs and such I can add it back. Installing W7 as we speak.

Did the GPU work after removing the RAM?

Glad you got it to post - always frustrating when the new toys don't work right

**CivilWars** · 10-14-11, 03:21 PM

Yes, I am running on the GPU, but on 4 Gigs ATM. Windows is installed, updating drivers, then will see about getting the second stick working.

i hope you get it running and not have to deal w/an rma.

but you bought all this nice stuff and then got some cheap memory. those gskills have like Hynix or Elpida, both of which are old scims from Myhrvold.

semi conductors are a commodity rated goods, so cheap is cheap. gskills topline stuff is good but at that point your paying just as any other company anyway. once you get in to the decent stock its really doesnt matter who you buy it from its just a name, or what ever warrantys they have.

everyone has brands they like and most of all them are just as good at top bin levels. i perfer to use

samsung
kingstinhyper
Crucial
corsair
mushkin(personal fave)

She is alive. Just have to do all the updates. As soon as I update some drivers I am gonna shut down and add the other stick back in to see if it works now. It is a known issue with the board.

**CivilWars** · 10-14-11, 04:27 PM

Grrrr, every Nvidia driver I DL makes my comp BSOD. WTF??

**kibner** · 10-14-11, 04:53 PM

Do you have your ram set to the right voltage? I know that caused a lot of bsod for me when the default voltage on the mobo bios didn't match what my ram needed at stock speeds. Might be a good idea to make sure that everything is at stock voltage and clockspeeds, just to be sure.

Occt is a great tool to stress test. Much better than prime 95 or any other tool I've used.
