Guest sealion Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Everything is at stock settings. I've updated to 6/23 bios, cleared the cmos, tried both orange and yellow ram slots, and ran memtest. My cpu is running cool at 31c - as detect in the bios. Ram was pulled from my old system Ultra D - brand new Opteron 148 - brand new 450 watt fortron source My power supply maybe the problem... but at 36amps on the 12v rail? I dont know much about power supplies other than I need at least 24amps to run my system stable. Problem is when I go to install windows I get the blue screen after I format the drive. Attempted to install it like 4-5 times. Each time I got a different result; sometimes it blue screen when it was copying the files, other times it blue screened during the "hardware installation". A little help would be appreciated. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 How long did you run memtest, did you run test#5 aleast 20 times. You may have to try with only 1 stick of ram in. If psu has 36A on 12v rail and is 24pin should work.All 4 power connector to mobo hooked up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taG Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Well, first try and run the memtest inside your bios on your ram sticks. If you come up with errors, then run each one singly, and find out which stick is corrupt. If not, then maybe try a new powersupply, like buy one at a store then return it. Lol. Desperate times call for desperate measures? Also mention what your ram is, as everyone after this post will ask you for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I made sure all the power cables were in; the 4 pin molex and the floppy connector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We posted same time it is 24pin OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sealion Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I've personally never seen a 24 pin psu. My friend has a 420 modstream with 20 + 4 pin thing that came with it. My psu has that exact same extra 4 pin add on thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Sealion, How are you loading your two 12V rails? i.e. exactly which hardware is installed on each rail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sealion Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 as stated before I dont know much about power supplies. I dont know how I'm "loading my rails". I thought the psu automatically did that - shoot I dont know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 It sounds like memory problem. Have you tested it on this mobo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sealion Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I guess I'll go test it more thoroughly. Thanks for all your input. I'll be back in a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
